Guess the Map II: witty sequel titles failed me

National anthems?

 

[Tee Kay]

That would explain Denmark, but what about Austria? It has changed various times.. (Austria-Hungary)

I'm guessing it's the date the national flag was first adopted. The Austrian red-white-red is a very old design.

That would also explain the Eastern European states, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and the Baltic States, which only relatively recently got independence from the Soviet Union but use the same flags that they adopted after World War I.

And, by the way, I've once made a map for this game with the date of adoption of national flags but didn't use it, so I think I'm right.

National flags.

This. In Africa, Congo-Kinshasa, Malawi, and Rwanda have all recently changed theirs.

However, it's last adjusted/changed rather than first adopted. Japan, for instance, appears in the same category as Russia but the hinomaru (the red sun flag) has been Japan's official flag since the Meiji period. In the late 90s they changed the positioning of the sun on it, so you couldn't really say it was first adopted then.

I'm pretty sure the national flags adoption thing was used before in either this thread or the other one

 

[amadeus]

I'm certain of it.

Yeah there was one just different map format.

Yeah, I posted that one

And I can more or less confirm thats what this is, just with a different scale.

 

[Cashie]

That would mean mentioning Burma's recent change is superfluous, wouldn't it?

 

[sepamu92]

Yes, it is indeed the earliest adoption of the current flag design, including minor alterations. Which, I know, gets kinda iffy with some countries, but yeah.

And sorry that it's a repeat. I guess I should look back through the whole thread, huh?

 

[aukrest]

No new map so I'll put one up:

Spoiler :

Shouldn't be too hard.

 

[W|M]

Countries where internet images don't work?

 

[aukrest]

I can see it fine?

 

[W|M]

I can't...

 

[aukrest]

Fixed?

 

[W|M]

Yep. I've definetely seen that map before, I don't no where, though...

 

[Dumanios]

Language Families?

 

[W|M]

Indonesia has the same language family as Madagascar?

EDIT: And Basque looks very similar to the German language family. Everything else seems fine though.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Yep. Malayo-Polynesian. The Malagasy are a combination of Polynesian colonizers of the island and later colonizers from Africa.

 

[aukrest]

Already? Yes that's correct.
