We are supposed to have the map on a new page, but from looking at the by date graphs the time period over which I have data is very different (1870 - 2017 for UK, 1987 - 2017 for Costa Rica). I have data from 1990 for almost all countries I have any data for, so here is the mean of the value from 1990 to 2017. It is a bit different. I have also annotated the key.

Recalculated scoreboard:

Tech related?

Indigenous languages?

No. Technology influences this, but you would not call it tech related.

No, but getting closer. I will again say the numbers are the real numbers.

I'ld not seen this site. It's enough to give Tim Harford a nerdgasm.

N/A is actually not applicable?
Does it have something to do with land use?

 

[Birdjaguar]

I believe that N/A means "no or not enough" participation in the survey. Nothing to with land use. The %s quantify yes votes.

 

[Arakhor]

96% of Bosnians and 94% of Turks do this, dropping down to 57% of Italians and 50% of Dutch people. Whatever it is, it's pretty ubiquitous.
