Upgraded version of a map posted a few days ago based on mods and user feedback (THANK YOU!)

Data from FIFA (football) and World Bank (Population), tool used to create the map is Leaflet with further cleaning to split the UK and other geo specificities.

Interactive version of the map, including more on the World Cup (predictions, games, group/knockout) is here: https://www.workwithdata.com/fifa-world-cup-2022

Was suspicious about French Guyana being labeled as "in competition". Then I looked into it and it's actually considered France. It's a department of France and as such is a part of the EU, the largest special member in fact. The Brazil-France border is the largest border France shares with another country. TIL!

It’s technically still wrong for this map though, because they have their own CONCACAF-affiliated national team. Not a member of FIFA though.
