Where Timor-Leste's land ends up, by people and by money
Every block on the map is 0.1% of Timor-Leste. By land, Dili holds 2.7%. By people, it holds 30%. Manatuto goes the other way, from 12% of the land to 3.9% of the people.
GDP for Timor-Leste is modelled from its national total, so the GDP map mostly repeats the population map.

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.
