What exactly is "unrest"?

Venezuela is pretty f-ed up, but it seems pretty stable here.

The ideological type of each country culturally or geographically part of Europe, determined by the generic ideology of the largest political party in terms of most seats won in their assembly/Legislation/parliament in their last election.

Belarus is excluded for being a prick.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

So Novaya Zemlya is a prick as well?

 

[aronnax]

It's shaped like one.

The political state of the world but one day after the Red and Green Revolution! The workers revolted against their cruel yet jolly overlord and descended upon the world they once worked for.

Spoiler :

Looks like a blood stain on Earth....

I submit France as a Germanic nation; at the very least as one of Germanic origin. Look at northern and eastern france in that map

And Cuba?

It's pretty easy to be stable when the government controls everything and dissenters are swiftly imprisoned.

Good thing I have Canadian and EU Citizenship than.

Is this figured out relatvie to the other parties in the country, or relative to some sort of global/Europe wide centre?

Or is it their self professed position?

That map rather confuses ancestry with ethnicity, I fear. Very few of the Western European ethnic groups shown have any relevance today, or, indeed, at any point in the last five hundred years or so. The Basques and Insular Celts are the only ones to maintain anything resembling the sort of coherent identity suggested on that map (and, in the latter case, at least, that's as much a romanticised form of civic nationalism as anything resembling true ethnic nationalism).

Relative to the whole wide world.

Self-Professed position too. (or what Wiki tells me)

What a stupid map.

I may have been bored when I made it but I dont see how it is stupid?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Arbitrary, stupid, and just plain wrong descriptions of governments. Basically the only thing right about the map is the national borders.

Harsh!


@Aronnax:
You are of course right in that the Socialdemokraterna is the biggest single party in the parliament, although it's the coalition "Alliansen för Sverige" (Alliance for Sweden) that is in charge.

Basically:

* Socialdemokraterna (s), 130 mandat
X * Moderata samlingspartiet (m), 97 mandat
X * Centerpartiet (c), 29 mandat
X * Folkpartiet liberalerna (fp), 28 mandat
X * Kristdemokraterna (kd), 24 mandat
* Vänsterpartiet (v), 22 mandat
* Miljöpartiet de gröna (mp), 19 mandat

(Out of 349 mandat/seats)
(X are the parties in the Alliance)

It becomes further complicated, because Folkpartiet would be blue/liberalism, Kristdemokraterna would be brown/religious democracy/conservatism, Moderaterna would be Orange/Classical Liberalism+conservative tendencies (though they have moved a little more to the center) and Centerpartiet would be Black/Other, I guess, due to being social liberalists.

Just wanted to point it out for everyone else, because the map is a little misleading.

Well done map. Saved.

Whats other? A coalition?

What happened to the middle of the Netherlands?
This doesn't work so well in countries like the Netherlands, where the biggest party has got ~27% of the seats in parliament.

Some of the other maps on that site are quite dubious. For example, I believe you need to be 16 to drink alcohol in the Netherlands. And the legal status of cannabis is also quite overstated.

What is a religious democracy anyway? Theocracy?
