[Takhisis]

Hey, you wrote that without including the word ‘lol’.

 

[Lohrenswald]

[Takhisis]

@Hrothbern you should be posting a new map, according to the rules.

 

[Hrothbern]

Right
it will be on a hot topic

[Hrothbern]

It is a rate ratio
Darker is higher

Hmmm, big change happen in 1990 so the fall of the Iron Curtain must have something to do with it.

 

[Thorgalaeg]

2000>2010<2016

[Birdjaguar]

Is high good or bad?

 

[Goodfella]

Exports (in the form of some rate)?

 

[Hrothbern]

Emmigration

Nope

Observations from @Takhisis and @Thorgalaeg are correct and relevant

Is high good or bad?

No simple answer
(without the risk of unveiling)

It is an indicator, calculated as a rate ratio of two quantities.
Common opinion is that a high value of the indicator shown is good. And also common opinion is that a high value for each of the quantities in that ratio are good.
As a matter of opinion there are also negative side effects, also depending how each individual country deals with them, or wants to deal with them.

Exports (in the form of some rate)?

Oil, natural gas or other mineral reserves perhaps?

 

[Hrothbern]

Oil, natural gas or other mineral reserves perhaps?

They go in the equation among many other

 

[Synobun]

Specialized natural resource (like rare earth metals) exports?

 

[Hrothbern]

Specialized natural resource (like rare earth metals) exports?

They go in the equation among many other

 

[Goodfella]

Exports as a percent of GDP? Or trade as a percent of GDP?

 

[Takhisis]

Something to do with currency exchange rates?

 

[inthesomeday]

The existence of countries with 500% makes me think it’s not in the format you guys are guessing.

Hm... no information from the Eastern bloc until after Gorbachev.

These feel like they should be big clues.
