Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

Access to proper toilets?

No

 

[Samson]

Access to mains electricity?

Access to mains electricity?

Yes, that's it. The data source only specifies access to electricity, so I am not sure whether it only applies to mains electricity or not, but I would assume so.

Great, but I shall have to start from scratch, I have no good ideas. Hope to have one soonish.

Crosspost

 

[GinandTonic]

Vietnam seems to be the outlier.

So, we have another that is pretty much showing GDP:

We can then plot this against various functions of gdp:

None are great, but I am going to say the reciprocal of the log (top right) is the best, which gives this:

I think this is the best, -value/log(GDP)

Spoiler Others :

log(GDP)/value

value/log(GDP)

 

[Kyriakos]

Have we moved to meta-maps about the function between iterations of maps?

 

[Deadly Dog]

Let me get this right, you have a data set you want us to guess but it too closely resembles GDP so you have adjusted for that so now Greece, Germany, Italy, Japan are standing out from other rich industrialized countries?

Stab in the dark: which country spends more on public education after adjusting for wealth?

Or which country spends least on military after adjusting for wealth?

 

[GinandTonic]

I thought gdp - median age, but it doesnt quite work.

I thought it was quite cool, and it is only a bit more abstract than value/population. If it is too far though I shall stop.

These are sort of the right lines, but not them.

 

[GinandTonic]

Just noticed the values on the key. So a lower number is "better"?

I think what you are noticing is dominated by the difference in the value, as I am logging the gdp:

[table=head]
name | value| gdp| log(gdp)| value/log(gdp)| log(gdp)/value
Germany | 8.6| 38007.478| 10.545538| 0.8155108| 1.2262254
United Kingdom | 12.1| 33980.520| 10.433543| 1.1597211| 0.8622763
Greece | 8.4| 25258.177| 10.136905| 0.8286553| 1.2067744
Italy | 8.6| 35102.252| 10.466021| 0.8217068| 1.2169791
Japan | 7.7| 34653.091| 10.453142| 0.7366206| 1.3575509
Mali | 43.9| 1640.636| 7.402839| 5.9301573| 0.1686296
United States | 12.5| 46251.256| 10.741844| 1.1636736| 0.8593475

Related to wealth of those not actually having a job?
(would have been a funny map, but I am just joking)

And @Samson your maps are always cool.

No, but it would be a good one.

I have been thinking about that, and I think it is a question that would split CFC in close to half as any question I can think of. When someone gets it, I would love to hear the answer to that.

 

[GinandTonic]

So something that correlates with poverty, but that would divide CFC as a good/ bat thing.

EDIT -

Birthrate?

Yes, you got it. Births per 1000 population.

Ah, man median age was so close for a first guess. Nice map.

Open floor.

 

[Kyriakos]

So almost no one gets born here. Makes sense
I'd have expected Germany to be helped by the millions of muslims, on the other hand.
