Guess the map 16: No need for that latitude!

People speaking a second or multiple languages?

My first guess was number of diplomatic missions in some country, but that isn’t people.

Second guess: winners or nominees for some kind of award? Possibly literary or journalism.

the countries not part of the data, are they so because of difficulty of obtaining info regarding the something?

No. The countries not part of the data (China, Australia, Germany, etc.) did not participate.

People speaking a second or multiple languages?

No.

Aspects of diplomacy are important to this map.

Repost for easy viewing.

In that case, I want to guess number of people who have held a certain office relating to international affairs, but it isn’t the UN (no Burma) or Interpol (no Germany.)

Croatia and Bosnia, I think I have an idea now—is it UN peacekeepers sent to the former Yugoslavia?

Pretty much! It's number of personnel (not just soldiers) sent by UNPROFOR countries to Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzogovina. I think Canada had the largest figure with about 4500 personnel.

Floor open to new map. Been stuck at work.

I have an idea, if nobody minds. I can have a map up later tonight.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Okay, have at it!

Sweden and Canada notable absentees in an otherwise pretty much unsurprising bloc.

Is it related to the nationalities of the people from those countries? Like "nationalities of people who have achieved X" or something?

 

[Samson]

The absentees in Europe is what I was looking at. Is not very rich/poor or north/south, but is very regional.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Individuals are not relevant, though of course people are involved.

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Also no Netherlands, Belgium or Denmark

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Is it related to pop culture?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

No.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Is related to literature or books or writing?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Writing and books would be involved.

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

related to science fiction?

 

[Samson]

Is it "countries that have held [event]"?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

related to science fiction?

Some science fiction works have referenced what I'm looking for here.

Is it "countries that have held [event]"?

No.
