Worldmapper’s tagline, “the world as you’ve never seen it before” is a fitting description. Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest. An update to their site, with more maps and information is due to be added in 2006.

Worldmapper has (or plans to have) maps in the following categories:

• Basic
• Movement
• Transport
• Food
• Goods
• Manufacturers
• Services
• Resources
• Fuel
• Production
• Work
• Income
• Wealth
• Poverty
• Housing
• Education
• Health
• Disease
• Disaster
• Death
• Destruction
• Violence
• Pollution
• Depletion
• Communication
• Action
• Exploitation
