How The World Cup Works

-----
I was very excited leading up to the world cup this year. I kept finding myself explaining it to folks in the Cart Lab here at UW. I'd never made a cartogram before so I took a day and put this together. I found a very useful Illustrator shortcut in the process to duplicate objects which was very helpful for placing 2,775 squares.

For an excellent explanation of many of the problems surrounding the World Cup in Qatar check out the great Youtube channel Tifo Football.
