Map of the United Kingdom by nation, one number per nation

About this template

Data: one row per nation with its ONS code (E92000001 England, S92000003 Scotland, W92000004 Wales, N92000002 Northern Ireland) or its name, and a number. Orkney and Shetland are drawn east of the mainland, at their own scale, so the map keeps its width. Same design as the region, local authority and constituency maps, so the four can sit side by side.

A choropleth map of the regions of the "uk-nations" geography, each region filled by one number from your data (the "population" column).

A sequential colour scale from pale blue for the smallest values to deep navy blue for the largest; pinned to 1000000 to 60000000, so values beyond the ends take the end colour and the colour bar says ≤ and ≥; a gradient colour bar below the map, with its labels underneath; values formatted in compact form (1.2k, 3.4M), 1 decimal; on a white canvas (#ffffff) with near-black text — a light theme; 1-unit hairline outlines between regions.

The title and description are left-aligned above the chart. Font: Inter (the default); a source line with a link sits at the bottom, with the chartlink badge in the corner.

Data: 2 columns — nation (string, "Nation (ONS code or name)"), population (number, "Population, mid-2024 estimate") — and 4 rows in the example "Population of the four UK nations, 2024". Regions are named by ISO 3166-2 region codes or region names; a region with no row stays unfilled in grey, and an unknown code fails loudly with the nearest matches. Your data keeps the same column ids and every other setting comes from the template; an agent can change any of them.
