I'm shocked to see the Nordic countries being so high here.

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

There must be some accounting trick to make the UK lowest, surely? We do have all the accountants.

The UK is actually third-lowest, but yes wasn't expecting them to be this low. If anything I would have expected them and Sweden to swap colours

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Because of the specificity of what's being shown here, and because I don't completely trust the data, I'm going to accept a "close enough" answer for this one.

As you can see, I've left the legend there. A country either has this or it doesn't. I don't need the name of the actual thing, just the category will do.

Is it related to technology? Politics?

Suspect this is largely a map of how much housing is treated as a wealth generating commodity for the top 20 or 30 percent of households. That is, my suspicion is countries that don't do that so much have more concentrated 1% wealth, because wealth for the broader top 20% or 30% population isn't ballooned by high house prices. UK being the lowest would then be because of really overpriced housing and higher concentrations would be places where those folk don't own expensive houses.

New map. Japan not being with the Western countries has to be the key.

Never mind me. I just think out loud.

Death penalty?

 

[Arwon]

It's definitely not capital punishment, that's pretty much just the US and Japan among developed countries.

I'm guessing the "have it or they don't" refers to some sort of legal right or prohibition? It's gotta be something pretty binary and on/off.

It's their dirty little secret.

Better regulated than say UK though.

Infrastructure?

I can confirm that it is a kind of legal restriction

Again no need to name the actual thing, just the category of restriction will do.

 

[Arwon]

Open bottles in cars? Fireworks? CFCs?

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

A certain type of drug? Weed?

edit: mountaineering?

 

[Tee Kay]

CFCs?

on the right track but too specific for me to give it to you

 

[Zardnaar]

Leaded petrol?

 

[Kyriakos]

Apart from a couple of countries, the rest in orange are in the third world.
And apart from the two in S. America, Best Korea and Greenland, those with "no data" afaik are muslim majority.
Maybe something about legal/other powers of the church/clergy?

 

[Tee Kay]

Leaded petrol?

Close enough!

I would have accepted anything as broad as "restrictions on hazardous substance" but you actually named the substance, although we're talking about lead in paint, not petrol

CFC is a hazardous substance arguably but too specific and therefore incorrect

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Are you posting the new map, @Zardnaar?

 

[Zardnaar]

Are you posting the new map, @Zardnaar?

Damn didn't expect to get it. I don't gave anything atm apologies.

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Posting new map (unless @Zardnaar has found one?)

What's the white pill-shaped thingy in the south of France?
