Guess the Map IV: A Thousand Cries for "Hint Please!"

My maps take several days to guess.
When I'm in the mood to make them hard, and give vague hints like you do, mine take that long as well.
Map measures something. Green means I could confirm the something exists corresponding to that place, but could not get statistics for it. Grey means it either doesn't exist there or I couldn't find information on it.

ps, I included enough info in the map that I don't think it'll be evil. That's the price of being thorough and not excluding data.

The values don't make sense to me, 1, less that 100, less than 1000? Wouldn't 1 apply to all of them?

EDIT: What Contre said.
It's a logarithmic scale, with a typo.
The first category would be 1 - 10, the second 11 - 100, the next 101 - 1000 ect ect. There were no other countries in the 1 - 10 range so I guess I didn't say "< 10" since the only country in that category was first.
It would signify that something is less than x but greater than y.

The US has the least of something (even though it has more people over all).

Or it obviously mean 2-99, 100-999, 1000-9999 and so on...
so, it's not linked to population (San Marino has less than a million inhabitants, probably, I didn't look it up), it's not percentage. Might it be related to medicine (they have those x in y-numbers there)?
And it seems to be that low is better than high, so it might be deaths from x? But then the numbers would have to be from a long period of time and accumulated (else San Marino...). So not really likely.
Still, it seems to be (negatively) linked with population, as red countries generally seem to have a lower population than blue ones.

It's weird how the isle of man (and the channel islands) has a different colour to the rest of the UK while northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have the same data as England.
There's a general inverse trend, yes. I would point out Bangladesh though.
Well, they're different than the constitute parts of the UK.

I don't think so, it is more likely to do with tax or law.
More or less, yes. Neat to know that about the Queen though.
That would be the obvious answer if a bunch of notorious tax havens are coloured separately to the UK.
It's neither related to taxes or directly to government. It is related to territory or jurisdiction.
