Where New Caledonia's land ends up, by people and by money
Every block on the map is 0.1% of New Caledonia. By land, Sud holds 39%. By people, it holds 85%. Nord goes the other way, from 50% of the land to 13% of the people.
GDP for New Caledonia is modelled from its national total, so the GDP map mostly repeats the population map.
| Region | Land | People | GDP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sud | 39 | 85 | 93 |
| Nord | 50 | 13 | 5.9 |
| Îles Loyauté | 11 | 1.9 | 1.0 |
How the map is made
Regions are drawn on an equal-area grid of about 1,000 blocks. For land, each region keeps the blocks its territory covers. For people and GDP, the country is reshaped so every region gets a whole number of blocks in proportion to its share (Hamilton's largest-remainder method), keeping neighbours next to each other. Then every block is matched to one block on the next map, so you watch the same thousand blocks rearrange.
