In a post about population density, it probably makes sense to choose a projection that preserves area ratios.



This projection looks to be either Robinson or Winkel-Tripel – both of which roughly do preserve area ratios.

Which is why all Wikis use these projections, or variations thereof, as standard base map (and it looks as if he just took at Wiki base map and colored it)
