One main goal of the INA is to develop a new system of mapping our world -- one that does not rely on geography, but on more meaningful parameters like access to world markets or communications infrastructure.

The following two maps were developed for the INA by Jonathan Harris of Flaming Toast Productions. The first map reconfigures 23 world cities based on travel time between the cities instead of distance. You can click on different cities, and the other world cities will slide to reflect their travel time from the chosen hub. The second map is a dynamically generated system that is fed data files and automatically generates non-geographic maps based on the data set. It is still a work in progress, and many features have not yet been implemented.

To view the interactive maps, you will need the Macromedia Flash 6 plugin. If you do not have it, click the button below to download for free.
