Nordic CountriesIn the past I’ve posted a some maps saved to my “to blog on” folder (that’s not what it is called), so today I’ll include three after the ones yesterday illustrating an interesting way to look at the world post.

Med vs US

The one above is on the size of the Mediterranean sea compared to the United States. The one on the left was from a Wall Street Journal article on Reinforcing Europe’s Northern Front with Russia — interesting if you don’t realized where the northern borders are or the Baltic Sea is located. Finally below is one that was shared on social media on what the average hourly pay is in each state around the US — although I’m not sure how it is calculated?
