I think this map shows what a little part Africa plays in the Global Economy while it takes up such a considerable portion of our world. I never even really realized that the United States was actually quite smaller then Africa. I had the idea that each of Africas countries was more or less the size of an average state, although obviously that misconeption was quite off the mark.
I think this is trying to show us what a huge part of the world it is that we almost flat out neglect. I'm not quite sure on the numbers but I would bet my left nut that there are more people in Africa than the United States. I'd also like to bet that there are more people in extreme poverty in Africa than there are total people in the US. Africa is in fact bigger than almost all the Earth's superpowers (minus Russia) combined! It needs and deserves attention!
I believe this would appeal to so many people because the map shows how Africa encompasses almost every country giving any person living in any of those countries a sense of relation to the problem this map is illustrating.
