Interesting but out of date & the majority of the world doesn't know their geography. I'm more interested in current figures showing both losses, gains, & current GDP. Sadly the world is poorer today because of the recession *cough *cough depression.

Yeah the original post is from 2008 and the data is from 2007. My point in sharing was not to highlight the data but the method, it's an interesting exercise in displaying spatial statistical data.

I was wondering with the availability of solid media 3d printers if this sort of representation will crop up more often but there is a definite chart and art to the wood carving representation.
