Guess the Map IX: The Richese are no match

[Yeekim]

Something to do with military?

 

[Takhisis]

I am fairly certain that the countries in green are countries that fulfill a condition that enables them to be marked as green in the map, but my reasoning powers fail me after that point.

Darn it, I was just about to guess that. Guess I gotta be quicker next time.

 

[W|M]

It's to do with the military

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

Reposting de map. (Now spoilerized.)

Spoiler :

Number of tanks?

 

[W|M]

Correct!

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

Well, whaddya know. Been playing Axis & Allies the past couple weekends and have tanks on the brain. Otherwise I probably never would've thought of that.

Open floor, then. (I really oughta come up with a map or two of my own someday...)

 

[Yeekim]

Darn! I was looking and thinking: "must be something to do with some outdated military hardware"... but never thought of the most obvious answer.

 

[Kyriakos]

Just to move things along, here is a far easier map-riddle

 

[Arakhor]

It doesn't appear to be some impossibly obscure Hellenophilic map. You disappoint me, son!

 

[Kyriakos]

^At first i obviously wanted to do just that, but given the thread is near-dead already, i decided to pass on this chance for the time being

 

[Goodfella]

Reported crimes?

 

[Kyriakos]

^Related, but no

 

[metatron]

prison population per capita

 

[Arakhor]

It's interesting that Denmark is distinct from Greenland. Maybe it's the global incident of crimes caused by bored fishermen.

 

[Kyriakos]

prison population per capita

Correct. Your turn or Goodfella for the main part of the guess (or open floor)

Wiki map that i used (prison pop per 100K people) :

Greenland is not just a colony, but a penal one too

 

[metatron]

Correct. Your turn or Goodfella for the main part of the guess (or open floor)

See, i would have posted a nice map.
I really would have.

But this business with you being apparently unwilling to award me the win for guessing your maps (it's, like, the third time now) is annoying me.
So you get a german map. And a hard one, too.
I'm not sure how much i'll be around to give tips.
Consider it an open floor if you guys don't get it in 96 hours.

Yeah, the (blurry) numbers and the colors are the same thing. It's one data set, not two.
(So that's gray -> green -> yellow -> orange -> red).

 

[Arakhor]

How about posting tips in spoilers then?

Either way, assuming that red is the highest quantity, I'm guessing it's something to do with East Germany. Economic output of various German regions?

 

[metatron]

How about posting tips in spoilers then?

Yeah, i'm not saying "no tips". I'll manage to drop by and give you guys the category or things like that if you make no headway.
Just don't be surprised if you are stuck for, like, a day or day and a half, and i'm not around to help.

Economic performance of regions is very likely among the root causes of the distribution.
But other than that the thing has rather little to do with money.

Urbanization?
