Over on his Deviant Art profile, Martin Vargic has imagined such a place with “The Map of the Internet,” an exhaustively detailed map featuring places like the Spam Ocean and an island country known as BitTorrent.
Vargic, a student and amateur graphic designer from Slovakia, told The Huffington Post he originally was inspired to create the map after seeing xkcd’s “Map of the Internet” in 2010. Vargic started by increasing the scale and creating a new model based off National Geographic maps, working 10 hours a day for three weeks. The result, according to Vargic, is still a work in progress.

A Map of the Internet, Drawn to Scale

From artist #Martin_Vargic comes this beautiful, ultra-high-resolution fictional map of the internet — scaled using actual from Alexa to rank the top 500 or so websites by traffic in the entire world.

According to Vargic, it took 3 weeks of 10-hour days to create, basing the project off of National Geographic maps. And it’s still a work in progress, detailing just a miniscule portion of the entire internet. Here’s his explanation of how the whole thing fits together:

"The map is divided into 2 distinctive parts; the eastern continent, ’the old world’ showcases software companies, gaming companies and some of the more real-life oriented websites. Western part, ’the new world’ is composed from two major continents, northern one showcasing social networks, search websites, video websites, blogs, forums and art websites.
