Guess the map 11: New map at least once per year

[cardgame]

Funny, that's what I was about to guess for the previous one. Nope. It's a very simple measurement

 

[Takhisis]

I'd say gender equality something-or-other but there's no way the USA scores that high.

Is it a current map?

 

[cardgame]

No it isn't!

 

[Kyriakos]

Is purple the positive edge? (ie is this about something deemed positive, or neutral?)

Wild guess: years of mandatory school education?

 

[AdrienIer]

It's interesting that Japan is lower than Ukraine, and that south Korea is at the level of Syria. Also Georgia is better than Russia. Very odd.

Infant mortality?

Japan is in very many ways a highly developed country, but on the map only yellow.
So I guess everything to do with economy, science, education, health, etc measured in hard result numbers/rates are out.

Yet most western developed countries do score much better than underdeveloped countries.
That leaves wide open cultural aspects of western countries.

Urugay scores very high.
Urugay is a very liberal country in many ways, not only for example same sex marriage, abortion, cannabis etc., but also low corruption, high equality etc etc.

It must be something that Trump is destroying.

Japan is very zenophobic. But apparently this map goes up to a set quantity (unless the purple is something like "> x")

I think it may be about education, eg either mandatory years of schooling, or average etc, or some similar ratio or integer.

eg this isn't miles away:

Japan is indeed shocking zenophobic. If you avoid for an example everything to do with race, or gender stuff, or cultural import..... there is perhaps no country in the world where as of today left handed people are so surpressed (educated to correct)
It is BTW a nice marker of how tolerant a time epoch, a country or region is.

EDIT
I have to correct myself. Japan is not the worst. Currently it is South Korea (of the countries that have data).
And although genes do play a role, if you look at the rate changing over time, especially the jumping around WW2, the start of the classic liberal world order, it is cultural.
In the US there is a nice correlation between states that are Republican and "have" a lower rate left handed

When it has to do with schooling, I would expect Cuba to score better. Whether all or female.

At the risk of correcting the actual Greek person in the thread, it's spelt xenophobic.

Some places and people used to literally beat the left-handedness out of pupils. It happened to my own father. This would help explain why the rates of left-handedness shot up all of a sudden.

And to my grandfather, as the Victorians and Edwardians were all over that sort of thing. I'm told that he had a stutter because of it.

I blame english pronounciation

But you are correct

In greek it is pronounced as it should, with an x instead of a z

 

[Arakhor]

What, with a hard -ch?

 

[Synobun]

What, with a hard -ch?

I've heard ESL people pronounce it with a short ze-, whereas English native people pronounce it with a long ze-.

ξενοφοβία

 

[Arakhor]

Americans seem to say zeeno (long e) for some reason, whereas I believe the more faithful version to be zenno (short e).

We are however sidetracking the thread.

You drive a hard bargain.
