I decided that since I was having trouble explaining to my friends how Mars and Titan are big deals in the solar system I would make a map scaled to population to help them see how strange the Solar System really is.

Hey Kindalas

That's a really great map. Would you be able to add total population figures to it? Maybe after the names? You could abbreviate to save spce (45K, 4.2M etc)?

Very good idea.

I wonder if one could make a treemap out of this, making it easy to randomly select origins of people with the right probabilities. Right now one can do it by repeatedly throwing a dart at the map Smile
