    Can this be divided per drawer's country? I'd love to see how Americans draw the world map, versus, say, British or German.

      I do not collect user data so currently this is not possible.

      I could ask as an opt-in as it would be interesting for sure

        You could likely cluster individuals by drawn features; might not tells us much about geographic origin but may reveal interesting differences/levels in geographic aptitude, and which clusters correspond best to what land borders/contintents.

          You can already see below the map the per country drawings and stats, and I will for sure use this data to produce new viz along the way
