Does it have anything to do with inflation?
Still nothing.
First hint: I had to add a few territories to this map. Which and what do they have in common?

Arsehole:Human ratio?
Mmm, Guernsey, Jersey, even friggin Gibraltar. San Marino. Are those the Gaza strip and the West Bank? It seems to have to do something with territorial dependence and/or foreign influence, but the indicated scale doesn't make much sense to me yet. Greenland has 100.000-1.000.000 of what?

hunting grounds, all of Greenland is for hunting
And the 60 square kilometers of San Marino has equally sizeable hunting grounds as Greenland?

I'm thinking it's a ratio of some sort.

Foreign Influence of some sort. Nobody tells the US what to do, Micronations on the other hand...
Might it have some connections to foreign Soldiers on the territorry?
The added territories are all British it seems, right? (but what makes Guernsey different from Scotland which isn't separate?
As for the ratio, the second part is most probably territory. Something like judges per territory? or per population?
or it might relate to the USA? then of course USA would be 1, so something connected to International Relations and American Diplomats?
What are the two green dots in the Indian Ocean btw.? Looks like Chagos Island (Diego Garcia) and Keeling (Cocos Island), a British and Australian overseas territory (the latter with apparently a King crowned by Queen Victoria... Godd Bless Wikipedia...). There are more islands which had to be added, but I'm out of ideas for the moment...

The channel islands and the Isle of Man were on the stock map, but thinking about them matters yes. On the other hand, I had to add the Indian ocean islands, the Australian territories and Pitcairn Islands. I also had to separate the south Atlantic British territory.
Moving on, the scale is not ranking ratios or total amounts. It's rankings.
The US is counted twice, since it has an unequal status in what the map is tracking..

The UK is one colour. All the odd dependencies and bits that are part of the crown but not part of the UK are their own colours. So it has to be something related to an aspect that is pooled between the countries of the UK, US and Ozzie states etc, but that is independent in their dependencies etc.
Theoretical sovereignty and tax code are about all I can think of, and perhaps something to do with the olympics. Sure thats not right though.

It seems like landlocked countries are higher. Is that significant?
It's relates to the use of something every country and territory has, even places like Antarctica and extinct entities like the Soviet Union.
No.

I think it is related to something like international telephone access codes. All these added territories have there own codes. But I can't figure out the scale...
While not telephones, your line of thinking is a very good one.
