I have a healthy addiction to all forms of maps......
All links are safe!
This is one of my favorites.

Most of you have probably seen these around the web, but I figured I'd use a collection compiled by the Washington Post rather than some random buzz feed post.

In case people have not experienced this yet, i'm sure most of you have, this will give you a good idea about the lands of GOT. It's pretty straightforward and easy to use and very obvious on how to avoid spoilers. Just stay away from the progression slider at the top right.

Heard people talking about languages last week and thought of this, although the publisher did not state what census report they used I would say it's fairly accurate.
This is clearly not a map, and actually depressing, but i think it's worth a thought nonetheless.

Ever wonder where the money is going? I thought this interactive chart was pretty cool.

That is a graphically beautiful map, but conceptually disturbing.
The retina of the world's woes?
Really stunning.

So Sad
My first map came from this collection, and intend to have it count as 1000 future posts.
