Man, I hate these maps. Sure, it's still shaped like the US, but the states are in totally incorrect places. For example, VA is three states in on this map. Functionality is more important than esthetics.

it's better than trying to see what color one of the tiny northeast states are

id argue it is more functional than a normal map lol

I like how north Carolina is to the west of South Carolina. Very intuitive.
