Hi all,
inspired by the recent works of Adam, I have now recreated the Wikidata maps that Denny made some years ago:
https://ddll.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Wikidata/Maps-06-2015/en
There are some interesting observations to be made there, and in any case the images are quite pretty.
The code is available online as one of the Wikidata Toolkit examples [1] for anyone who wants to create more/different maps. Building all of the maps takes about half an hour on my laptop, once the dump is downloaded.
Cheers,
Markus
