Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

[Kyriakos]

Gray = None? Not Applicable? No Data?

There are some very deprived bits of the world in red, but also some in green.

Gray: countries that don't have this
Green: countries that have this
Red: countries that had this, but no longer do

The map:

Is the subject political?

Is the subject political?

Yes

 

[Kyriakos]

A clue: (let's go for the nuclear option, why not)

It is about recognition of a country.

Relations with the Vatican?

 

[Kyriakos]

Νο.

 

[Arakhor]

Recognition of Taiwan or Palestine?

 

[Kyriakos]

Recognition of Taiwan or Palestine?

No. It's the other one.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, I edited in "or Palestine", so if it's neither of those, I don't recall a third nation.

:/
Think Tony Blair's bombing in 1999.

 

[The_J]

Kosovo then.

 

[Kyriakos]

I am disappointed. You people don't even know which narco-state you are recognizing.
Here is a hint to make it as easy as apparently it needs to be:

Kosovo then.

You win. Flawless victory

 

[The_J]

I'll make up a map later today .

I'm disappointed, I'd have thought you would chose North Cyprus, but I guess that would probably be only Turkey herself... ;-)

 

[The_J]

I thought this one was not online, but I just found it, so... here we go.
(for some people this will be again to easy, I think)

 

[GinandTonic]

I would think it was about former colonial powers, but Egypt is all green,,, And no green in Madagascar, so scrub that.

 

[GinandTonic]

Official languages?

 

[TheCleanerDragon]

I think it's a map of lingua francas
green is Arabic
pink is English
blue is French
light green is Portuguese
black is Swahili
orange is Afrikaans
grey is indigenous language

I was thinking the dark grey/ black was German, which didnt really work. Stuck on the post colonial thing.

 

[Samez]

My question would by, why does the Central African Republic not have a color? Is it a lack of data, or is the map related to them?
