Acknowledgements
An atlas such as this would have been impossible to produce without access to wikipedia, Google, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and Natural Earth, and assistance from Auckland Council Libraries and the University of Auckland. The maps and website are produced using a number of commercial and open source products including Python, Django, Adobe Creative Cloud, and QGIS.
