Propaganda Map
A propaganda map is a map with the goal of visualizing propaganda to a world map scale as well as smaller scales. Propaganda maps have the goal of persuasion to depict an outside group as evil and as the group in power as a force for good defending the country. Propaganda maps can be shown as true and false depending on the detail and imagery shown to depict themes of politics, economics and social problems. Propaganda maps are subjective products that market a one sided view of spatial knowledge. Propaganda maps are used because they are widely successful maps that can distort reality in order to sway individuals who share an opposing political view. The propaganda map shown above depicts Russia as a force of good that should expand because it's growing towards several smaller countries that would benefit in becoming part of Russia.
