Choropleth Map

A choropleth map shows different kinds of data based on different geographical areas using a colored system. The map above shows a gauge of world happiness.  The darker shaded areas mean the people that were polled ranked their "average happiness" high on the scale.  It can also be deduced that nations that are considered more developed also contained happier citizens.
