Export Treemap

You're shown a country's export profile drawn as a treemap, with each block sized to that good's share of trade. From the mix and proportions alone, identify the country within six guesses.

• Study which exports dominate and how the blocks are sized
• Type a country to guess; you have up to six tries
• Each guess narrows the field as you reason about the economy
• Solve in fewer guesses for a stronger result

• Daily puzzle, the same economy for everyone today
• Practice, a fresh country each round

• Desktop: type a country name (autocomplete helps) and click Guess
• Phone & tablet: tap the field, choose from the list, and tap Guess

• A single huge commodity block often points to a resource-driven economy
• Diverse manufactured and high-tech exports suggest a large industrial nation
• Distinctive goods, certain crops, ores or electronics, can pin the region instantly

Export Treemap visualises trade data as a proportional treemap, building economic-geography knowledge and data-reading skills.

• Skills: economic geography, trade and exports, reading treemaps, data literacy
• Best for: roughly grades 7–12 (ages 12+)
• For parents & teachers: introduces real trade data and how to read it.

Identifying a country from its export profile drawn as a treemap — each block sized to that good's share of trade — is reading an economy as a picture.

Giving only the mix and proportions, with no labels, is the original constraint.

Export profiles are unusually diagnostic. A single commodity filling most of the area implies a resource economy and a specific set of countries; a finely subdivided map of machinery and chemicals implies an industrial one — and the shape of the distribution says more than any individual block.
