This is not beautiful, this is confusing.
Why are the Nederlands with a index of 10 more ro the right than Australia that happens to have an index of 10 as well?
The “information” of the x-axis is completely random or so it seems.
If you plotted medals (y-axis) over index (x-axis) there might be information in there.
Bit this? C’mon, thats embarrassing.
So, plus 10% would mean what? There is a 10% net-migration of the countries population towards the US… per what? Month? Decade? Minute? I wished more graphs where self-explanatory . This one isnt.
If someone has the answer to what this is actually supposed to mean, would be cool if it got posted.
