'Map Of Stereotypes' is as beautiful as it is hilarious

Map enthusiasts rejoice. There's another beautifully detailed and actually rather amusing map on the mapscape.

Martin Vargic, a 17-year-old artist from Slovakia, has crafted a delightful atlas of "of everything you never knew you needed to know".

While the hardback features maps of the internet, maps of literature, of music, of sport, the unquestioned highlight is the "Map of Stereotypes".

According to the map, which, Vargic said uses data "gathered from a wide variety of sources" including TV tropes and online forums:

The US stands for "liberty for rich white guys"

Italy is full of pizza

And Australia is populated by kangaroos

"The first version Map of Stereotypes, released in 2014, took around six more weeks to finish. The second, much more extensive 2.0 version was made specially for the book. It took two additional weeks and contains more than 5,000 original labels," he told Buzzfeed.

Most stereotypes about foreign countries are negative, but positive ones can be found, such as 'Japanese and Koreans are all very smart', 'the French are very romantic', and 'all Canadians are polite'.

In sum, maps are great.

Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: The Atlas of Everything You Never Knew You Needed to Know is available now on Amazon.
