Wouldn’t this just mean that countries with larger land mass get more investment rather than countries with more people?

- edoceo 6y agoWell, (my) darts aren't accurate, so, maybe? I couldn't hit Belgium from 3m away but I probably couldn't hit USA either. I'm thinking water still wins. And it depends on the map projection too. Maybe the dart is to focus on that specific circular area, like 10km radius or something? Or maybe every group gets an equal slice on the dart board? Just something to help distribution rather than some money-motivated/short-term-outrage method we seem to have now.
- ergocoder 6y agoAh, my snarky comment turns into a legit technical question. Well, throwing a dart wouldn't be too bad though....
- atlasunshrugged 6y agoThis is fun! To test the theory I just threw a pointy pen at the map I have hanging on my wall 5x - 3x water, 1x Ethiopia, 1x USA. Unfortunately I have to do some real work otherwise I'd do a few hundred more and see where we ended up edit: Looking at my map, I think they arbitrarily shrank the size of the oceans to prioritize landmass (it's one of those ones where you scratch off the countries you've been to), so it's quite possible that the proportion of darts hitting water would be higher normally
