There are 200 territories (mainly countries) represented in this series of maps. The maps contain 262 areas that are resized, so 62 areas share data with other areas. Most of these 62 areas are small islands, and they are allocated to the territory from which they are governed. This is shown in the list to the left. These 62 areas are only assigned to Australia , China , Denmark , France , the Netherlands , New Zealand , Norway , the United Kingdom and the United States . The 200 territories were mostly included if they were United Nations member states, have ratified United Nations agreements, or statistics from the United Nations and other sources treat them as separate entities. The 62 areas are usually not listed separately in international datasets. The maps re-size each island by the same proportion as the territory to which it is assigned is re-sized. Antarctica is treated like the sea, and has a constant area on all maps. The size of Antarctica bears no relation to the mapped variable.
