But the capital is Zaragoza!
LOL! Madrid is under our control!!!
BTW, why didn't you say "Aragó l'any 1429"?
@ Huyana: Very dubious indeed. Large swathes of China etc have no religious affiliation at all. Is Asthrakhan really buddhist?
Australia is just plain weird. Why is Eastern Arhnemland "native" both major settlements are former Christian mission stations and to the best part of my knowledge they're still practicing or at least nominal Christians. It gets even weirder when you consider that the areas which are nominally "native" are marked Christian. Someone was being silly.
PiMan said:I think what they might have done for Australia is colour all of Australia as Christian, since that is the majority religion, then to colour areas which some sort of research showed there was a high population of people following native religions. Little attention would have been paid to actual proportions/percentages.
PiMan said:Although I think mixed would have been more appropriate than solid tribal.
(Indonesia doesn't recognize its fourth largest religion btw).
According to Wiki, Catholicism is the #4 religion.
That makes no sense. If that were the case why wasn't New York or Amsterdam colored solid Islamic Green? They both have a relatively large population of Muslims. It's simply poor demography or laziness on the part of the creator/s.
No, it isn't. If you did that you might as well mark Sulawesi Protestants as mixed "tribal-Christian" and Catholic Timorese as the same. Both of those groups have very tribal specific idioms and beliefs most of which pre-date Christianity and exist in opposition to it - the veneration of ancestors, the construction of houses of the dead and the invocation of pre-Christian deities and protector spirits are all common. This kind of melding of traditional beliefs with new beliefs is endemic in the peripheral territories of Islam and Christianity. Western Javanese Muslims are heretics the closer you get to Mecca, they worship pre-Buddhist protector spirits, Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Hindu Gods. Now explain to me why they're any different to Aboriginals? (Indonesia doesn't recognize its fourth largest religion btw).

The leaders of all groups hoped that in an Independent Indonesia everybody would not only have religious freedom, but also that there would be religious peace. Therefore on the instigation of Bung Karno, who had formulated the Panta-Sila, the principle of Almighty God was accepted as the fifth pillar and in this way the state ideology came to consist of two layers, namely a political foundation and a moral foundation. After the formulation of the Piagem Djkarta of 22 June 1945, which was to be included in the text of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence... a change was made in the order of these principles... the result of this change... is that without changing the state ideology itself, the state had been given a strong moral basis. The expression "Almighty God" does not only lead to mutual respect between various religions as was at first argued by Bung Karno, but it became the basis which leads to truth, justice, goodness, honesty and fraternity.
Chapter XI. Religion
Article 29
1. The State shall be based upon the belief in the One and Only God.
2. The State guarantees all persons the freedom of worship, each according to his/her own religion or belief.

PiMan said:It is clear their research wasn't very good. I think there is still some logic to my suggestion though.
PiMan said:And by mixed, I was referring to how places like east Asia are marked as mixed. I think it is supposed to represent where no single religion is in majority, but where a plurality can be determined.
