Good post OP. I thought it would be interesting to see what the map would look like if the honours were weighted by significance. I think it’s only right that a league title should be given greater importance than a league cup.
It wasn’t easy, but these are the weights I settled on (and I think we all can agree that these are fair) :
League Title = 6 points
FA Cup = 2 points
League Cup = 1 points
Champions League/European Cup = 25 points
Europa League/UEFA Cup/Inter-Cities Fairs Cup = 4 points
Besides, English teams between them have won the CL/European Cup 15 times between them. And the teams who have won it at least once (Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Manchester City) have 62 league titles between them.
62/15 = 4.1
That’s empirical evidence that the European Cup is at least 4 times harder to win than the league, therefore 4 times more significant! (And it doesn’t even include the teams who have tried but never succeeding in winning it)

Here’s the updated map!
In my unbiased opinion, this is correct!
I wouldn’t possibly let my bias influence this!
