Guess the Map III: The Map Lover's Paradise

[Fuzzz]

Denmark: shift of power (political parties) in last elections?

 

[Mango Elephant]

Russia would be better, no offense but no one cares about Denmark.

Percent of people who agree with health something or other?

 

[dwaxe]

Oh dear God what have my SAT scores done?

 

[Yoda Power]

Nope.

Another hint: it's also related to the borders on the map.

 

[dwaxe]

Provinces that have changed hands?

 

[Yoda Power]

It's not shift in political power (as have already been guessed).

Do you mean something else?

 

[W|M]

Urban population?

 

[Kraznaya]

Would've easily had this if I was awake.

 

[aukrest]

Aukrest - there is nothing to guess about that map.

And no it's not about the environment. You shouldn't be confused by the green colour, I just choose a random one.

I didn't post a guessable map - I'm just showing how ridiculous Russia's provinces are.

 

[Optical]

Is it... provinces that have changed their administrative borders?

 

[Yoda Power]

Is it... provinces that have changed their administrative borders?

Close enough!

It's new muncipalities that were created from older smaller ones in 2007.

You're up.

 

[Optical]

Here you go, good luck. You'll need it.

Red is something.
Blue is something else.
Purple is both something and something else.

Right?!?!?????

 

[Mango Elephant]

Red is something.
Blue is something else.
Purple is both something and something else.

Right?!?!?????

Obviously not because then America would be blue.

 

[mitsho]

But there are five countries of each colour, so I'd guess the Top Five of anything. Purple may be Death Penalty? But probably not (because of Belarus)

Does there exist a sport in which world cup all of the above countries take part in and the colour denotes the groups?

 

[dwaxe]

Any hints?

 

[emzie]

Could really use a hint I think. All I could see was the countries in purple grow a lot of sun flowers. That's probably not it.

Damn it, forgot to check back yesterday!

Darker means higher values

Spoiler :

The answer is percentage of people who desire US only maps in this thread.

To put it mathematically, the US has a population of ~308.000.000 vs the rest of the world with a population of ~6.612.000.000. That's less than 4.5%.

Please, no more US only maps in this thread.

Any reason we skipped this? The answer is clearly how much Americaness each country has.

USA #1
Everyone else #2

Perhaps slightly ironically, given the spoiler text, this was a US map. I actually copied it into paint and used the eye dropper to get Russia's colour, and then drew lines over the map, linking countries. I changed colours and did a fill on Russia, which changed the colours of all the other countries linked by my lines. They're all the same value, not one decimal off.

 

[Optical]

Red is something.
Blue is something else.
Purple is both something and something else.

Right?!?!?????

Hint: Yep. This may not be the only hint I have to give...

 

[emzie]

There's 5 of each category. Perhaps the top 5 producers of various crops?

 

[W|M]

Is one of them wheat?
