Oh ya, and they give as much weighting to tiny countries as they do to large ones ugh

I think equal weighing is okay, because we have everything in per capita?

It's a 'by country' chart The data points forming the "relationship" are still weighted by country, each country is one datapoint. So in the visualisation suicide/gdp by capita for the US, has as much influence on the observed relationship as suicide/gdp for Barbados. Even though Barbados is less than 1/600th the size.
