[amadeus]

Bill Gates, but Iran is #3? Confusing.

 

[Kyriakos]

Bates isn't what is measured on the map, come on

 

[Kyriakos]

Ok, final hint:
Cybernetic Somalia

 

[Codeword Iroquois]

Cyber attacks?

 

[Kyriakos]

No. :/
It was software piracy... Both bootleg and just dled.
Open floor

 

[cardgame]

I don't think this will be too hard

Spoiler large :

 

[Takhisis]

Something related to marijuana?

 

[cardgame]

nay

 

[AdamCrock]

Let's see .....

East Coast is red
West coast is green

I have no idea
what it supposed to mean

We have two rogue states
where people rebelled
against calling coke - soda
like rest of the herd ?

The gray is neutral
that is for sure me thinks
where people mix n' match
the name for their soft drinks

 

[Arakhor]

Some kind of specific wildlife?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Doesn't appear political or natural resources related.

Sources of power generation?

 

[Kyriakos]

Some kind of specific wildlife?

I thought of that, but how would it work?
I mean... human-installed rare wildlife wouldn't make this an easy to guess map - which I suppose it is meant to be.

Maybe some water issue?

I don't think this will be too hard

Spoiler large :

Does the legend represent categories or a scale?

 

[cardgame]

@emzie A scale! Grey is Not Applicable afaik

Maybe some water issue?

closest guess so far

 

[Kyriakos]

@emzie A scale! Grey is Not Applicable afaik



closest guess so far

Use of a river?

 

[cardgame]

nope

 

[Kyriakos]

Fluoridation/water quality should have been covered by "some issue with water", also scarcity, I suppose

 

[cardgame]

It's not a water issue, but the measurement of water is definitely involved, tangentially.

 

[The_J]

Something about forests, tree density, type of trees?

 

[cardgame]

Nothing at all to do with forests or plant life
