this is just a fancy table. The point of a table is to display all information with granularity. The point of a data visualization is to summarize information simply. If you need to write the value on every entity, then why use a color coded scale at all? Additionally, your legend is bonkers huge compared to the visualization itself. Look at how small the map is compared to the total frame of the image. And why do we give a shit about some of the information you’ve annotated? I don’t care about European population or the flag of Guam if they’re not on the chart.

What I don’t understand is how you’ve made 80 of these bear turds and never, ever, ever listened to feedback. Normally it’s a “practice makes perfect” kinda thing where people get better over time. Somebody could come back and look at this a few visualizations later and realize it’s an eyesore because they’ve got more experience under their belt. But not you. You’ll hover at this amateur level forever. And that sounds like hell to me
