[LAnkou]

gambling?

 

[Japanrocks12]

prevalence of pirated software?

 

[emzie]

Neither.

As a clarification, the map is measuring the percentage of something in each country that is done illegally: that is, all countries profiled have official versions of... whatever.

Must be prostitution then!
Percentage of citizens engaging in illegal prostitution?

Prostitution is legal in Latvia and semi-legal in Slovakia. And if Slovakia is included, wouldn't Italy be as well?

No, it's not. Infrastructure-related, remember.

 

[carmen510]

Does it have something to do with the internet?

EDIT: Is it child pornography?

a legal version of Child pornography?

 

[carmen510]

Oh whoops. I forgot that yellow meant it was legal.

 

[amadeus]

EDIT: Is it child pornography?

Germany would be darker. A lot darker.

 

[choxorn]

I thought Germany was just weird porn, and Japan was weird child porn.

 

[dwaxe]

Might it be illegal transportation?

 

[carmen510]

I was thinking that the map showed human trafficking, but then I realized that it wouldn't be legal in Western Europe, unless yellow actually meant a really low incidence rate.

 

[LAnkou]

would have said prostitution, but it's not related to infrastructure

 

[Tee Kay]

Electricity?

 

[emzie]

It's directly related to housing, though has other uses.

 

[LAnkou]

corruption in illegal construction?

 

[aukrest]

I think we need another hint.

 

[emzie]

I think we need another hint.

I'll summarize, but I think any further hint would either be vague enough to be misdirection or so obvious as to give the first person to see the post the answer.

Map represents percentage of X activity that is done illegally in each country. X activity is directly related to housing, and construction in general.

Nuclear power?
