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

[Kyriakos]

ok
up to the red ones

Is it correct that Czech Republic is red, and Slovakia is not ?

You may be on to something. In that case, also check Serbia (and Russia)
Same logic was followed on those.

It somehow reminds me of countries that have lost territory.

I expected that (from the non europeans) you would be the one most likely to guess the map.
But that isn't it at all...

Ok, new (not so subtle) hint: Denmark & Greece
(and think of the delphic oracle post too)

 

[cardgame]

number of official/recognized languages

 

[Kyriakos]

No.

Ok, even less subtle hint: it is a competition.

Either lack of education, or a spherical one would help you there.

If no one finds it in the following hours, i will post the answer

Gold medals in something. Olympic... basketball?

It is a sport, yes

Not basketball, though.

It isn't in the olympics either. Come on. There is a map of just Europe (other stuff are just there due to the frame), so the contest is a pan-euro one

 

[inthesomeday]

Actually that’s probably too many for it to be Olympic. It’s not soccer, or there’d be more than 1 for a lot of these. Maybe rugby World Cup wins?

It actually is soccer, and Red= won the pan-euro football league (at least once), Blue= were finalists in the pan-euro football league (at least once).

Takhi is no longer a pirate.

Denmark and Greece being the upsets there (won without anyone expecting them to).

 

[inthesomeday]

Oh see I thought red was just one, no more no less

It's your map if you want it, given you did guess the sport part

 

[Arakhor]

You said Denmark and Greece and my mind went immediately to the Schleswig-Holsteins, but then I realised that couldn't be it, as it was Belgium and Bulgaria that shared a dynasty, not Serbia.

Uh-huh. That still doesn't change the fact that you are from football (ie low-culture) country ^_^

You barbarian. You posted all that while I was asleep! You tricked me in my sleep… like a true courtier of the vicegerent of God on Earth, actually. Well played, sir. I'll just have to remember to poison your wine.

 

[Hrothbern]

A ranking.

 

[cardgame]

North Korea is better than Skorea? wat.

 

[Hrothbern]

North Korea is better than Skorea? wat.

ahhh
more points, higher ranking, "better"
NK is "bad".

 

[Lohrenswald]

North Korea is better than Skorea? wat.

It's not

 

[cardgame]

Oh, never mind. I confused the dark navy blue of 9-10 with 1-2.

Does it have anything to do with political violence?

that is one of the more likely effects of a lower ranking
