Interesting maps.
I just came across these maps, sorry that they are from the Daily Mail, but they are interesting anyway. For instance did you know that Australia does not have the most poisonous animals?

I am surprised by the gun-licence-map and I like the happiness map. Time to visit Norway and Denmark!
