Log-spaced steps, calibrated on the actual distribution (median ≈ 7, 90th percentile ≈ 114, US maximum 4,349): without this spacing, nearly the whole world would fall into the same pale shade.

The United States alone hold 4,349 recorded data centres, almost eight times the second-placed country, the United Kingdom (549). This dominance owes as much to the size of its domestic market as to its role as the world's cloud hub — Northern Virginia alone is the world's largest data centre market.
