This is great! A small comment is that the color map makes it a bit hard to differentiate light blue con light green. So for example, to me it looks like several regions of Brazil are higher than most US states. You could change the color map or maybe divide the spectrum with coarser granularity.
Hurts seeing this as a pakistani, becuz maps like these shows how the army has basically opressed pakistan into nothing

Every time I see maps like this, I’m always shocked by how high rural Mississippi and Louisiana are in the rankings. I live in Louisiana now and I’ve also traveled pretty extensively to a lot of developing countries, and the level of poverty in the worst parts of Louisiana often feel much more like a developing country than a developed one.
Obviously the worst parts of developing countries are worse than the worst parts of Louisiana, but I’m still always shocked by the fact that many downright distraught parishes in Louisiana are ranked higher than some of the really nice parts of Latin America. Sure it’s just an anecdotal observation, but it makes me mistrust the data collection used for things like HDI. It feels like an objective truth that Madison Parish, Louisiana has a lower quality of life and a lower level of development than Curitiba, Brazil or San Jose, Costa Rica but the HDI says otherwise…

What’s HDI?
Northern Chad is mostly desert, but it was also the epicentre of the [Chadian–Libyan War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chadian%E2%80%93Libyan_War)
