This one was a labour of love and was made with help from my friend and pinball team captain Dan Miller who did the illustration and came up with the overall look and feel.

Oh and please note that the data collection took bloody ages, so if you spot any errors please let me know. And the countries are the modern equivalents - identifying individual US states under different monarchs got a bit much to deal with.

Looking forward to downloading this and seeing how the dashboards were created - I am not sure if its a v9 issue, but sometimes the hover isn't right with the picture - I only know the current Queen's image, but at times when moving about and over her, I get a King in the picture instead? Great viz though
