That's a very bad map. A better version would show McDonald's locations per 1000 people

Either that, or by area, in which case it represents a density. Though, this map works fine for a present / absent comparison with the IKEA map, so I can't question it too much.

One might think that's a misspelling of intellectual, but it's actually an old English loan of a Swedish compound word consisting of the word inte meaning not, and lektuell meaning literate. As such it means illiterate, which is the correct word to use when describing someone who just misspelled intellectual.

The map's old. We've got them in Korea, too.

I kind of want a map like this with different multi nationals but with added arrows and symbols so it looks like a ww2 battle map.
