The Autocomplete Map is an interactive map on which all province place-name labels convey been changed to present Google's autocomplete suggestions when you lot type "(country name) is ....". For event when you lot type "China is ... " into Google the search engine suggests "China is a sleeping giant". The map also includes Google's autocomplete suggestions for United States states.
Google's autocomplete suggestions are based on the previous searches yesteryear other users. In other words the autocomplete suggestions are what well-nigh users type into Google search. There are a few full general trends inward Google's suggestions. Worryingly many of Google's suggestions are based on a real pitiful noesis of geography. In this category nosotros convey 'Chile is inward Europe', 'Mexico is inward South America', 'Morocco is inward Europe', 'Malaysia is European Union country' too 'Israel is Europe'.
Another tendency is to propose that a province is dying, dead or over. In this category nosotros convey 'Japan is dying', 'Belarus is dead', 'South Africa is finished', 'Colorado is ruined', 'Illinois is doomed' too 'Connecticut is dying'. Not inward this category, simply mayhap related, are 'New Zealand is depressing', 'California is going down' too 'Bangladesh is sinking'.
Among my favorite surreal answers are 'France is Bacon' (presumably mistypings of 'Francis Bacon'), 'Chad is on the snoop' (from a children's TV program) and 'Germany is dancing on a volcano' (a 1938 film).
Methodology: The autocomplete suggestions used on the map are based on searching Google inward England. You may larn other suggestions depending on which province you lot search in. I convey tried to purpose the function yesteryear autocomplete proffer - except where the suggestions are every bit good repetitive (for event '(country name) is safe' appears every bit the start proffer for many, many countries). I may also convey ignored the function yesteryear autocomplete proffer when to a greater extent than or less other proffer was to a greater extent than interesting. If a province is missing from the map too then it is in all likelihood because Google had no interesting autocomplete suggestions for that country.
