With so much information being thrown at us on a daily basis, it’s easy to lose focus and drift into apathy. Who cares about so many things at once, anyway?

No wonder more and more people are drawn to this old-time form of systematized information accompanied by great visualization. We’re talking maps. And not just dusty maps from your attic, but the most fascinating pieces that present things we know (and the ones we don’t!) in a refreshing light.

This subreddit has already earned its name as the ultimate destination for fans of cartography, so below we prepared a new batch of the most intriguing examples. After you’re done, be sure to check out more features of maps we did before here, here, and here.

Am I the only one who googled for "Australian football" and "Gaelic football"? :)))

So this map is about spectator sports. The most popular recreational sports aren't mentioned in it. For example: ping pong is the most popular recreational sport in China :)

Looking at this on a phone, too small to tell who has archery as a favorite sport. Also, archery? Really?

Even on my desktop it's hard to be sure, but I think that's Bhutan. Wikipedia does say "Bhutan's national and most popular sport is archery".

This must be 'watching sports' either in person, or television. In the UK, there's roughly 4 times as many people who run for sport/exercise than play football.

This might be just because I'm a Sydneysider but there's no way AFL is our (Australia's) most popular sport, even though those pesky Victorians claim it's our national sport. It has to be cricket

F*****g Sydney people. The centres of their own universe. NSW here btw. You have not travelled to other states. You will be amazed to see NRL is the 'huh' game. It is an eye opener how insanely popular AFL is. Even the Indians cannot believe that cricket is not bigger here. But I put that down to personality of the game. Aussie cricketers are not the personalities they used to be. Pup and co? Vo vo.
