What the Yemen map covers
This map cuts Yemen into 21 governorates, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Hadramawt (about 168,100 km², 37% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Amanat Al Asimah at about 382 km². That is a 441-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 12°N to 19°N and spans roughly 12° of longitude. Some governorates are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 24 outlines for 21 governorates.

Tips for coloring the Yemen map
- With 21 governorates you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
- Hadramawt alone covers about 37% of the mapped area, so a shaded choropleth will always be dominated by it. If you are mapping a quantity, import your numbers and switch to the bubble view, which sizes circles by value instead of by land area.
- The shape is much wider than it is tall, which leaves room above or below the map: a corner legend and a title fit without covering any governorate.
