Canada lands near the Caribbean in a cartogram that sizes countries by language rather than land.

Why Would Anyone Scale a Map Like THIS?! (Romania)
Next story: Drew Durnil puts America's regional boundaries up for debate
Drew Durnil drew about 1.6 million views across the week, the largest weekly audience among the nearby-sized education channels here, including Invicta, Horses and Fall of Civilizations. His subscriber count stayed unchanged, but daily views are running above their usual level.
Across 12 uploads, geography supplied plenty of opportunities for a double take. The most watched, "Why Would Anyone Scale a Map Like THIS?! (Romania)", gives Romania an enormous footprint by sizing countries according to their Romanian-speaking populations. Drew compares it with an Estonian-speaker map that leaves much of the world barely visible, then picks through the reshaped countries. Canada's relocation prompts the obvious question: "Why is Canada down here in the Caribbean, though?"
The comments have a geographical priority of their own: Romanian is spoken in Moldova, too. Several viewers make that point, while others puzzle over Britain's shape and the map's displaced countries. Drew does mention Moldova in the Short, but its small presence clearly warrants a closer look for some readers of the map.
Elsewhere, a reversed Europe and an America-Europe driving comparison kept the map theme going, while countryballs supplied a World War I detour. The strongest daily momentum now belongs to "What Is Going On Between Bosnia And Croatia?!", with "Maps That Made Me Say WAIT… WHAT?!" close behind. That broader map collection is drawing substantially more daily views than the Romanian Short, even though the Short has accumulated the week's largest new-upload total.
