This map is a planimetric map because it does not show relief
features and it only has two dimensions.
The purpose of this political map is to represent Germany as a country,
with its 16 states, the state borders, as well as the state capitals. Besides having lines for borders, each
state is a slightly different shade, in order to better distinguish one from
the other. The neighboring
countries are also on this map, so that the viewer can put Germany into its
European context. Berlin, as the
national capital, is depicted by a bigger, red box, as opposed to the state
capitals, which are depicted by smaller, white boxes.
