Archipelagos of Prosperity test: Previously, I had mentioned a map of prosperity in France
that created a buzz amongst the R community. Following the idea of
mapping sociological indicators, I tested a few ways of mixing ordinal

Prosperity is an actual topic in our period of crisis. I imagined a way
of representig prosperity on a map, besides the choropleth and the cartogram. For the creation below, I took inspiration on a book cover
that figured a chart as a fictive landscape and based on my observation
of islands of prosperity on Coulmont's map, I imagined France as an
oniric landscape made of archipelagos, lagoons. This exotic vision
contrasts with the toughness of the subject.
