31 Awesome Maps That Will Help You Understand the World
EVERY MONTH WE TRY TO FIND THE best maps on the internet. This month was a doozy: the internet’s cartographers mapped out the Syrian refugee crisis in a ton of different ways, broke down how much Europeans like to smoke (hint: France isn’t as stereotypically smokey as you’d think), looked at how you’re most likely to die early around the world, and figured out how Latin America says “bro.” My favorite, though, has to be the breakdown of which states have the most people on Ashley Madison.
