Carrie Osgood, data designer and owner of CLO Communications has created the
Data Atlas of the World. Her unique signature of representing countries as circles, mostly sized by population provides an interesting perspective.

and religion. Christianity is blue, Islam green, Hindu reddish brown, and Buddhist orange. Yellow is other, and gray is atheist/agnostic.
These maps are available via a
subscription service. Here are a couple more examples that she has kindly provided me with. Note that due to both screen limitations and by request from the publisher these maps are only partially shown.
Here are some more - the world sized by size!
Income inequality via the
Gini Index. Blues are more equal, reds are the most unequal.
I really like this population change map.
Each concentric ring represents another time interval and the orange and red ones show future projections. Blues are 1960, then 1975, greens are 1987 and 1999, and yellow is 2011. Projected values are for 2025 (orange), and reds for 2040 and 2060. It gives an excellent sense of when each country grew or will grow the most.
Other maps include economic factors, quality of life measures such as access to drinking water, and change in life expectancy.
There are also environmental factors such as carbon dioxide emissions per capita,
and percentage of people living at sea level.
