Methodology: This Atlas collection is largely infographic not cartographic. An infograph is a unique and original production based on textual, statistical, and/or monographic raw data. To create it, the raw data is processed, altering them if need be based on other trustworthy information (personal or anthropological observations), before plotting the outcome into a graphic. Infographs are appended by one or more articles, explaining the methodology, the math and the process of decision making. New statistics and the resultant pie- and/or bar charts are also appended. The entire product is then completed by a list of bibliography of the consulted material for the creation of the given infograph.



Conversely, a cartograph/map is just a visual work, often borrowing or even copying piecemeal the works already in existence. If including anything new, a map does not explain the what or the how: in short, maps are often generic just visual entities.
