I like these maps from Peter Zeihan because they show where civilizations tend to spring up just by looking at land quality.

This one's pretty neat, although it gets pretty stupid around Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.

Good pair of maps, much easier to understand China when you realize how concentrated everyone is near the coast and isolated on all sides

The US has more interconnected navigable waterways than any other country on Earth, which goes a long way to explaining its economic dominance.

Jesus christ anon, that map triggers my autism something fierce.
Also what's the criteria for a polity to be placed on the map anyway?

>>3107295
It's such a weird map, isn't it great?

I have no idea how they selected units. Somehow it has the Kingdom of Tavolara, a self-proclaimed microstate of a few families off Sardinia (107 on the map). Meanwhile, entities that haven't existed for millennia exist in Banu Ghassan and Banu Lakhm (the Ghassanids and Lakhmids of the Byzantine-Persian era) are included while Caliphal names for those lands are excluded. I think the map is trying to use endonyms for places that were (or claimed to be) independent. Though by that standard there are so many omissions in Europe I have no idea how they decided.

It's just a map made by someone on 4chan.
This thread hasn't started off on a very good note seeing how it's mostly really small maps and /int/ shitposting material so here's something to fix that.

I think I'll follow the advise of archeologists and not call them cities
