When you’re comparing data points of different countries

Why would you need a map for that? That seems like something where a table is more useful.

It's more appealing visually and generally easier to navigate because you don't need to search a country on the list, it's easier to find it on a map

To be noted: usually those maps are paired with a table and aren't made to give precise information
