It would be good to see how each use category compares to average and ranks vs other countries.
We have another election coming up at the end of this month here in the Netherlands, and how we use our limited land is a hotly debated topic.
Last year also I shared this animated hexagonal map of Dutch land use. I've now expanded this to include several more European countries, so you can see what makes Dutch land use so special - or not.
If you want to help add more countries, I'd appreciate PRs on GitHub. The map rendering is already there, it only requires land use data which can be found in the SQLite database (at least for EU countries).

Nice animation when switching countries! I also want to compare countries as mewpmewp2 suggests.
A ranking of countries by category would be nice also! For example which has the most urban area.
Thanks I love the suggestions! Great ideas for the next iteration.
It would also be nice to see how many m² this accounts for. Sweden is mostly green, but their farmland is about the same as the Netherlands
awesome idea.
