There’s something about maps that keeps capturing our imagination again and again. Maps not only tell the stories in the most subtle and informative ways, they put things into a unique perspective we may not have ever thought of before.

So today we present you with a treat for your inner cartographer–the Twitter page dedicated to sharing “maps that keep you updated.” The creators of the page with a 36.1K-solid fan base also run a super popular Facebook page by the handle @IFLOVEMAPS. Here more than 757k people follow their content on a daily basis, which includes “keeping them updated about global events via maps,” “sharing maps developed by others” and providing them with “a new perspective on the world every day.”

Below we wrapped up some of the most interesting and informative maps shared on this page, so scroll down below and upvote your favorite ones!

In Portugal there´s a popular saying that goes " Todas as estradas vão dar a Roma" (every road leads to rome)) which is used to say that no matter wtv you do, you´ll end up in the same place. The roots of that popular proverb (?) are from this time.

To find out more about the team behind the IFLOVEMAPS Facebook page and Twitter account, we reached out to the creators, Pablo Izquierdo and Lars Erik, who have been developing maps together for over a decade. The duo lives in Oslo and Madrid and they have a company called Mapographics that delivers services in the GIS-space (GIS = Geographical Information Systems).

Pablo explained that the main goal of Mapographics is to make maps that are informative, educational, and hopefully also nice to look at. “We have developed a lot of maps and analysis in the sustainability domain, and lately we have also started to sell maps for decoration. We love to merge scientific data with design,” he told Bored Panda.

The birth of IFLOVEMAPS was ten years ago, when Pablo and Lars Erik talked about making a social media page where they could share their love for maps. “It started with a Facebook page, and then moved on to Twitter and Instagram. We’re super happy to have several hundreds of thousands of followers, which to us is only a testimonial that many people share our love of maps,” Pablo said.

When asked if it’s true that more and more people are interested in maps, Pablo explained that we live in an ever more globalized society, and the distances between us are getting smaller due to cultural exchange and technology. “In addition, themes such as those that relate to environment, climate, sustainability, man-build-environment and more, nurture more interest in the spatial dimensions of things. Maps can represent how things are tied together in the spatial dimension, or geographical sense.” He added that “we experience a much higher interest in maps, more advanced spatial analysis, and more lightly, storytelling.”

Finland has no special irritating sentence. It’s the intention of speaking to us that does the trick.

Pablo explained that “from a social media point of view, people love maps that are spot-on in conveying a message of stereotypical characteristics and differences between countries. From a more professional point of view, the interest in sustainability related topics in maps has skyrocketed in recent years, such as maps showing degradation of nature or the effects of climate change. But more generally speaking, what we see is that maps, as a way to represent data or tell a story, are increasingly used in media, by the government, NGOs and even in the business community.”

But making a good map that is based on advanced data, that tells a story and that looks good (or at least tries to) is a process of trial and failure, Pablo argues. “To put it simply, the process starts from the idea on what story/data the maps should express, to identification of data source, quality assurance, data processing, GIS processing, and working to ensure the final print has crisp and flawless details when it turns into a final product.”

I was 21 and alone the last time I flew to Egypt to visit relatives there. I’m American with a US passport. When I had to pick a customs line to wait in, I jumped into the one for “Citizens” because it was shorter (since I was 21 and didn’t give a damn at the time.) The gentleman behind the counter looked at my passport, then at me, and asked in English “Is your father Egyptian?” I said yes, because he is. Then he asked “is your mother Egyptian?” And I said yes, because she is. He stamped my passport and let me through.

In Germany it is both. if both of your parents are non-German citizens, you will still have the German citizenship being born here. Not sure if this requires a "legal" status of residence of the parents...

I think the Republic of Ireland has Jus Soli. It seems to me that the parents have to have resided in Ireland for a certain amount of time before the birth (a few months) but then the baby has Irish citizenship. The map is small - I think Ireland has been left off.

Before 2005, born in Ireland meant you were Irish. After 2005, depends on the nationality of the parent. There were a lot of people wanting EU-citizenship who'd give birth in Ireland for this exact reason (Google 'the Chen case'). This abuse was one of the primary reasons to change the law.

I can only speak for Europe which receives a lot of refugees and thus encounter an overcrowding problem with housing and education. They make it this way so that other people don't just come here and give birth here so they can gain automatic citizenship - it's not out of cruelty, it's out of necessity. Disclaimer: I'm not European, I just live here but I did it legally and correctly.

I disagree with this. I was born in Britain - raised in Canada. Became a Canadian citizen, but when I travelled to the UK, the agent at the airport looked at my birthplace on my passport, said "Welcome home!" and that was it. I was considered a citizen. Nowhere did my passport say where my parents were born.

No, this map isn't exactly accurate. A lot of people from other countries already pointed that out. I don't know if I would say wrong but not clear. A person born on American soil is an American regardless of their parents' citizenship. A person born to American citizens outside of the States is also an American citizen. However, ex-pats who revoke their citizenship (as the US isn't fond of dual citizenship as a choice not a birth circumstance) their children wouldn't be citizens of the States even if both parents are ex-pats born and raised in the States.

If you are born in San Francisco to four Dutch grandparents, a Dutch father and a Dutch/American mother, you are both Dutch and American citizens and do not have to choose. I still don’t get how this works.

Ah, if you think that's confusing, you could be born to a Moroccan/Dutch mother and a German/Turkish father in San Francisco in which case you'll have five nationalities. 😊

This is country perspective based. Didn't see squat about western tragedies or news when living in China, found out about them from western sources. My relatives in Malaysia don't hear any either unless we tell them; get lots of "omg world is inbdanger!" stuff when it's in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, India, China, Thailand, or Vietnam though. Lots about coups and stuff in Thailand and Myanmar get reported there as terrible for the world.

this omits, centers of learning that spread trough middle and east Asia, places like the "house of wisdom" in Bagdad, or the centers of study in India By the 900s. of course they are not exactly universities, but very close...by the way, more literature was lost when the Mongols burned Bagdad, that when the library of Alexandria was destroyed

I met a woman from France who had visited Texas one year in August. She told me that she always thought that air conditioning in the states was a "conceit." She said that she never realized how HOT it was in Texas in August. She asked me, "is 38 degrees normal?" I said, "actually, we have had times when it was 38 degrees [centigrade] 24 hours a day for weeks." She said "I do not know HOW you could stand it without air conditioning. I said "farmers and ranchers do it all the time."

Fun fact! (see I am copying Mr Encyclopedia). Chess < Shah (king). Checkmate = Shah Mat (king is dead).

Wow I didn't realise it was that low, and that Argentina had the highest percentage? I assumed Brazil would be due to sheer proximity...

Most cultures have been build because of cultural exchanges between previous ones. Both willing or due conquest. Spain is the best example for this, we were invaded by basically everybody in the mediterranean. People nowadyas pretend that europe=evil. But thats a lie, all big cultures were built by conquering and slaving others, not only the european. All humans are capable of evil, not only the ones with light skin.
