Maps - accuracy vs information

you have been charged with the production of a map that illustrates the  
contemporary animation scene in Europe.
Maps do not have to be topographically accurate.
there are new forms of maps, - data mapping, check out this; worldmapper.org
this animation of daily wealth distribution for example, shows the percent of the world living on less than a dollar a day to those living on $200+ per day...
old form of maps, where the information is exaggerated for legibility rather than accuracy.
lots of examples here the worldmaps blogspot...

to consider on your map. towns and locations of Animation festivals. Locations of animation Schools.
Cities and towns that have a good animation reputation/ media industry/ reputation.
