Choropleth Maps

Choropleth maps are usually very simple with one variable being shown on geographical locations with different colors or different shades. A variable such as population density or per-capita income is the type of thing represented. In this map, the spending of great britian is represented with a variety of shades of pink, pink being most lavishly spending areas.
