Guess what it is
 

Can you guess what this map is trying to represent?

The size of the state corollates to the avg IQ of the country listed in that state. Stupid fucking VietNamese!

Well, it isn't population correlates to state size, because Indonesia would be California then.

I'm thinking it's population of the state is roughly that of the nation whose name is superimposed.

The UK, India, China, and the US are missing. No country repeats. Hmmm.

Hmmm...what makes Russia be in New England...with Greece, Belgium, and Bangladesh?

Canada's population is 33 Million (texas) and Indonesia's population is 234 million (louisiana)

It's not population.

It could be a pictograph, with the surface area of the states representing a static value of some quality of the country in question;
...or it could be that a relationship between some quality of the country and some quality of the state is being represented.

I'd guess its a GDP corellation.

Interesting thought. The Dominican Republic and Belgium are both in New england and are the same size. I would assume that Belgium would be much larger then, but maybe the Dominican Republic has a large agriculture industry?

OK. Dominican Republic is $77 Billion GDP and Belgium is $342 Billion GDP

The CIA world fact book is helpful here.

That the United States, much like the world, is a diverse and wonderful place.
