Summary

English: This is a template to create U.S. states and Washington D.C. choropleth maps using the SVG-JavaScript generator by cmglee (talk · contribs) and TilmannR (talk · contribs). Since it is only an example map, it is not used in articles, and may not get timely updates of the data. The template can still be used. The map used in articles is here.

From en:Help:Pictures#Thumbnail sizes is this:
| By default, thumbnail images on Wikipedia have a width of 220 pixels (px) if the image's wikitext does not have an explicitly defined size. This is the width determined by default that is used by anonymous visitors and users who have not customized their preferences. You can set a different default width for yourself in My preferences under "Appearance » Files"...
Lead images should usually be no wider than 300px. That is equivalent to using |
Border has been added via wikitext to show image boundaries:

220px:

300px:
upright=1.35 (requires thumb,
thus the border and caption space):
