Cartogram

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cartlinearlarge.png

A Cartogram is similar to a Thematic map. A Cartogram map represents a specific variable by transforming the size of an area with the size of the variable. For example, this map is showing the popular votes of the 2004 presidential elections, in which the counties have been rescaled to represent it's population.
