Why is Dorset all long and thin when the actual county is horizontal along the south coast??

I’m interested in the source you used to put this together. Districts, as far as they exist here, nobody ever refers to them. It’s typically counties (e.g. Sussex) or boroughs (e.g. Croydon) which exists in London.
There are around 300 districts in England, and there appears to be far less on this map. There are 48 ceremonial counties in England, which appears to align much more closely with the map, however if this is the case, it raises a new issue, which is a lot of them have been given the wrong name.
The town of Northampton lies within the boundaries of the much larger county Northamptonshire (with the shire suffix meaning county). Essentially all of the names you put in this map need ’shire‘ added to the end, since many of them refer to much smaller settlements within the much larger county. With the exception of Hampshire, since that’s one of the lucky ones with a correct name.
‚London‘ also really just refers to the capital city in its entirety. ‚London‘ isn’t just another place you can pop into an existing category. It actually consists of Greater London (which further consists of the 32 boroughs I mentioned earlier) and the City of London, a weird little area in the middle of London with lots of quirks, but also technically a ceremonial county itself.
I love the concept of the map but I can’t help but notice the odd naming conventions.

Those are counties btw, and if you want to abbreviate the county names there are conventions about that, such as Lancs, Cambs, Hants, Worcs etc. (you can’t simply remove -shire)
