Guess the Map 12: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate Mercator

[GinandTonic]

Scale? Peach, yellow, gold, red, black?

 

[Samson]

some indicator coming from/alligned with social-democrat values like for example workers protection ?

Yeah, could be closest 1st post ever. [EDIT] Though that would describe many important measurements of life so perhaps not.

Scale? Peach, yellow, gold, red, black?

Yes. Subjective ordinal categories in order of darkness.

I know where the map is from, since I also know the website, so not gonna post, would be too easy ^^.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Is it supposed to be like press freedom

 

[Kyriakos]

I don't think so - the press is basically entirely free here. (and often bought by the main parties in indirect way but with blatant effect).

Worker's protection-related would be a good basis.

Norway is a different colour from Iceland...

This has to be a win. The annotated PDF is here, this is the screenshotted version:

 

[Lohrenswald]

I felt I had seen maps about press freedom basically like that before, but unlike the J I didn't have an exact pinpoint

I don't think so - the press is basically entirely free here.

I'm not sure how reliable the data and judgement is, honestly

anyway, new map


wonky projection

anyway it might end up being quite hard, but given how little life this thread usually sees nowadays, I don't plan on being too liberal with the hints

The square in the south pacific is a non-existent legend, rather than a special island?

if you saw my now deleted post, I was wrong

it is non-existent legend, I didn't bother to look clearly

 

[Takhisis]

So French Polynesia and French Guiana, eh?

I suppose this is a yes-no thing, with red being one and the rest being the other?

 

[Lohrenswald]

yes

also just to be clear I was wrong before it's just France

The map is tecnically surperflous, the list is:

America
Canada
Britain
France
Switzerland
Italy
Austria
Hungary
Poland
Norway
Sweden
Finland

 

[Takhisis]

The map is never superfluous!!!!!!!

That said, what throws me off is the two former Communist countries being grouped with the others.

Membership of some scientific committee/organisation?

It is not that

Having viewed the map, I have to agree with Kyriachos. It is difficult to see why the UK scores as satisfactory while
Greece is problematic, bearing in mind the strenuous libel laws in the UK that absurdly protect the wealthy and corporates.

It seriously skews the political and social debates; in that the debate is about politicians rather than directing business interests.

This is hilarious. There's apparently greater freedom of the press on Ellesmere Island where hardly anyone lives than in the provinces and more southerly regions of the territories.

Is there no press in Antarctica, in the science stations?

 

[The_J]

These are not independent territories.

Is it related to participation in a war?

 

[Lohrenswald]

no

Ellesmere Island and the next island west of it aren't independent territories either. They're both part of Canada, so it's weird that there would be more press freedom there than in the rest of the country.
