Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

[Samson]

I did a bit of a reinstall today, so for the map above I took the ready made one. I do not like the way they use constant colours for the value ranges, so I reset up my map libraries. So to post the map on a new page, I have generated my own version, with a colour palette more like that one. I quite like it.

It seems that this time the scale is the opposite, right?

I have tried to make them the same. The darkest blue is the same (high numbers), but the low end goes past yellow to red.

 

[Takhisis]

Bulgaria, Norway, Uruguay and Slovenia all in one group?

@Kyriakos Picture source please.

Edvard Munch's "The Death of Marat"

(although, very clearly, it's not an actual depiction of the death of the real Marat; Munch used that as a symbol for other situations )

As for the map: unless Uruguay is also very fond of pickled food, I don't see the tie to Bulgaria

Yeah. Lowest Countries:

> tail(world_stats[,c("name","value")], n = 10)
                   name    value
60              Denmark 1745.815
161         Netherlands 1742.811
104             Iceland 1732.407
33             Barbados 1704.677
204            Slovenia 1693.726
162              Norway 1670.351
225             Uruguay 1659.266
23             Bulgaria 1658.841
130          Luxembourg 1623.142
218 Trinidad and Tobago 1616.945

And on the other side we have South Korea and Chile from the developed nations.

It has nothing to do with drug consume, I assume?

No.

The highest countries

> head(world_stats[,c("name","value")], n = 10)
          name    value
118      Korea 2535.875
233    Vietnam 2474.529
213   Thailand 2473.430
144    Myanmar 2445.061
90   Hong Kong 2398.651
40       Chile 2341.272
115   Cambodia 2340.390
139     Mexico 2329.648
50  Costa Rica 2320.799
190  Singapore 2306.047

This is a fairly big one. Does not get the attention that my last few do, but it is a major factor in most of our quality of life.

Cost of food?

(mainly saying that because a friend of mine lived for a while in South Korea, and says that it's pretty cheap there)

Nothing like that.

Something to do with population density/housing?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Consumption of spicy food?

No, nothing like these.

Is this related at all to religion?

Nope.

I wonder if some plots by time would help:

 

[Kyriakos]

Red is a smaller birthrate (or negative) ?

Nope. The numbers I quote are the real values.

Is it related to trade?
