Where this comes from

Nothing here is drawn by hand or remembered. The build that makes this map stops rather than publish if Lagos does not come out with exactly 20 LGAs and the 24 constituencies its source lists, if the 2006 counts do not sum to the published state total of 9,113,605, or if any landmark falls outside the LGA it is supposed to be in.

The map is drawn here, not fetched. There is no tile server and no third party involved: it is one SVG built from a single file served by this site, so it costs one request, works on a slow connection, and does not tell anyone else where you are looking.
