Saw this on Wiki, and I think we didn't have it yet:

Any hint at the order? I would guess red > yellow > green, gray no data? And you have data for Laos?

South Korea grey, Best Korea red is different.
 
Jamaica is green....the only outlier for the whiteness/Britishness of the green is Japan. Must be something post WW2.
 
WWII is in no relationship to this.
The start you can date before though.

British-ness is the reason for the green of the British-ish parts.

EDIT: Correction, I think BJ is right that Japan's green-ness is caused by WW2, but WW2 should otherwise not be important for this.
EDIT2: this point is a bit complicated...

Some association status of an international organization?

Currently no, although maybe at some point there might have been a faint relationship. (and I don't think this would help)

Any hint at the order? I would guess red > yellow > green, gray no data? And you have data for Laos?

I took the map from Wikipedia, so I can't be sure about the data for Laos, but I'd say there's a good chance that it's valid. EDIT: Checked another website, says it's correct for Laos :dunno:.
No real order, but categories.
Grey might be no data, but in most cases it probably validly means absent.

South Korea grey, Best Korea red is different.

This is correct, and might be of importance.

And yet the UK itself is (now?) yellow, i.e. something changed in the UK after Aus + NZ + Canada + Jamaica got their independence?

Or that independence changed something for the others, and they would (also) have been yellow previously?

Is it a presence of a law with relative presence according to color?

...er... yes.

Anything to do with the Korean war?

I don't think I can find that out, but it can maybe be attributed to the general atmosphere.

mmhh... hint: we're talking about something political (as seen above already).
If the other countries would not have become independent, they would therefore be yellow.

EDIT: The greens are all different (so could all be different categories, but that probably makes per category only 1 representative). The reds are all the same.
 
It was more a hesitation to say yes, since this being a law in most countries is not the first thing I'd think about.
And no, nothing to do with the UN.

South Korea grey, Best Korea red is different.

Hint: Ask an obvious question related to this.
 
Communist parties often don't make it due to some rule about having over x%, was what I was thinking. ^_^

Then again it can't be about general banning of parties, else Germany (nazi insignia etc) would be there.
And in Britain you can have any party run, even Lord Buckethead or how he was called.
