The twelve divisions

Areas are measured from the boundary geometry at 0.14% of the officially reported 124,450 km² total, which is the check that the simplification did not distort the map.

How this map is built

  1. Division boundaries come from OpenStreetMap relation data, simplified without changing shape, and are attributed below.

  2. A division is only marked with products when those products carry that origin in the catalogue.

  3. Cultural association is not treated as origin. A Sarawak dish made from a supplier elsewhere does not become a product of that division.

  4. Divisions with no recorded products show an empty state. We do not create inventory to fill a map.

Reading the map
