it was this size where ı found it , it answers the question of people answering positive to the question of whether they think their culture is superior to others , my apologies for not knowing that you had to win once to be able to post a map when it is an open call thing . Shall ı remove it ?
Ok, now I am back to liking r16.
But I'd still rather the next map wasn't too political
Re the map, it was misleading. While "Greek" culture may be argued to be superior, it obviously isn't enough to be greek to have greek culture; anyone who actively studies (and likes) ancient Greece can be said to have that, and that takes out (sad, but true) most of the actual population of Greece.

rather it was a research thing by a thing called Pew on (Eastern and Western Europeans differ on importance of religion, views of minorities and key social issues ... with specific survey depicted in the map given as % who say they completely / mostly agree with the statement, "Our people might not be perfect, but our culture is superior to others.") Armenians and Georgians will kinda refuse they are so big fans but they might need EU one day .
But no, nothing to do with this map
Besides, Ireland doesn't seem to be in the (negative) top20 here. The red is Birmingham or something - though I doubt the map actually presents territories accurately; maybe it does for the US, but still doubt it. (Eg for Turkey I'd be very surprised if most of this isn't going on in Constantinople, while the map shows Kurdistan)
The American pin being in Utah i thought it might be fallout from testing or something.
Japan being clear should have flagged it for me.
The radiation in the Irish sea comes from our neighbours in Cumbria so approximately where the pin is.

Let me just stress again that I seriously doubt the red in countries means much - is not just arbitrary. At any rate it can't realistically be numerically more important - how many people live in central Siberia anyway ^_^
I'd not focus on red in the country at all - other than to signify the total problem (and you have the ranking already)
Regarding Japan, I won't be surprised if they have far tougher laws on this than the rest of the world.

I think the map is about plastic per population generation and pollution.
No. It is related to computers.
