ugh beat me to it... to me a good infographic is also one that compares something "unknown" to known quantities for the readers
In this case it's "well-known" or relevant countries for the Western world, compared to the "unknown" size of Africa.
It also sent me hunting for resources on infographics, I found:
"The Anatomy of an infographic" (not too much in-depth but a nice starting point)

and blogs on infographics:

and

which show good examples
