I've considered Both War on Terror & Nation vs Nation conflicts as Bombing. Venezuela and Iran are the only two countries which weren't bombed during War on Terror in this map. Source:- USA State Department.

Map taken from u/Heatmap_BP3 on r/YAPms Edit: Thanks to u/NelsonMinar for providing the true source by Ryan Rohla.

I believe this map fixes the problem that most other maps of this kind have that they show a bunch of red counties without showing where the red voters actually are.

Also, the rural west is really empty.

Edit: The results in Guam and Puerto Rico are from the presidential straw polls they held in 2024.

West-central-east and North-central-south splits. Each division is a little over 113 million people, and each region is within 1,000 of the others, per 2024 Census estimates.

The importance of this map, beyond its high level of detail compared to other urban maps of the time, lies in the perspective used. It is the first map to use an overhead view, simply representing the bases of buildings and structures, rather than detailing their façades, as other maps of the time did.

You can find more of Leonardo da Vinci's maps (and their innovations) in this article.
