Reading a Tradle Export Treemap

Tradle scores geography, not spelling. Each tile in the treemap is a product the country exports, sized by its share of total exports and coloured by category. A map ruled by one giant tile — crude, gold, coffee — signals a specialised economy; a patchwork of small tiles signals a diversified one. On #1600 you read that fingerprint first, then use the distance and direction feedback to pin the country.
