Hi Maarten, thanks for this nice and easy setup to create tile maps of the world! And thanks for sharing the tweet :)

One suggestion: You can tidy up and simplify your ggplotI a bit by replacing geom_rect() with geom_tile() - than you also don't need to adjust the text labels.

library(ggplot2)

worldtilegrid <- read.csv("worldtilegrid.csv")

mytheme <- theme_minimal() + theme(panel.grid = element_blank(), axis.text = element_blank(), axis.title = element_blank())
colors <- c("#7F3C8D","#11A579","#3969AC","#F2B701","#E73F74","#80BA5A")

ggplot(worldtilegrid, aes(xmin = x, ymin = y, xmax = x + 1, ymax = y + 1, fill = region)) +
  geom_tile(color = "#ffffff") +
  mytheme + theme(legend.position = "bottom") + 
  geom_text(aes(x = x, y = y, label = alpha.2), color = "#ffffff", alpha = 0.5, size = 3) +
  scale_y_reverse() + 
  scale_fill_manual(values = colors) + coord_equal()

ggsave("worldtilegridmap.png", units = "cm", width = 20, height = 18.5)
