Guess the Map IX: The Richese are no match

[TheMulattoMaker]

...So I'm locking in % over 60 if that's not too much like Mulatto's guess.

Well, all I did was plagiarize your idea anyway...

(Glad this thread's alive again, thanks everybody. It's the best non-Civ thing on CFC.)

Here you are folks:

Your Irish word for the day is léarscáil - map

 

[JohannaK]

Something to do with CO2 absorption?

 

[Goodfella]

Lightning strikes.

 

[eduhum]

Lightning strikes as well.

The congo is the most extreme place in the world in that regard.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I sort of recall reading years ago something about 14 lightning strikes a year per square km.

 

[Goodfella]

I think it's more than that.

Spoiler :

Most of the DRC is in the purple-orange range and a lot of it is bright yellow.

 

[Goodfella]

Excuse the double post.

It's probably closer to 50 or 60 per sq. km per year as an average for the whole country. Also, I'd be interested to see data for summer months in certain US states since that's when almost all of our lightning occurs.

I'll wait for confirmation from Really before posting since that seems like the polite thing to do.

 

[Goodfella]

I'll just go ahead and post then.

Grey is no data.

^Hmmm, Bulgaria

 

[Goodfella]

Apologies, I made a mistake. The UK is green, not orange. I made a copy of the map while resizing and must have clicked the UK orange by accident. I'm pretty sure the other countries are all right, including Bulgaria.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Countries run by Socialists.

 

[Takhisis]

Bulgaria is a Socialist country?

 

[Borachio]

Mobile phones?

Landlines?

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

Some sort of human rights issue?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Bulgaria is a Socialist country?

Well, the current government is the former Communist party rebranded into the "Socialist Party", so yeah.

Although, considering the situation here, that won't last for too long..

 

[Goodfella]

Borachio is closest so far but the map's not about phones.

 

[madviking]

something to do with internet service?

 

[Goodfella]

Does have to do with the internet.

 

[Kyriakos]

Social networks? Probably not the correct answer, although Russia/China/Japan iirc do have their own popular ones.

 

[Bootstoots]

So the question is: in what Internet-related thing is Japan more like Russia, China, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, and Bulgaria, than it is like South Korea along with such human rights champions as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and all the smaller Gulf states excluding Iraq? And what do these countries have in common with most of the West? And in what way are Iceland, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania along with Albania and Bosnia somewhat purpler than most of Europe including Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine, but greener than Russia and Bulgaria? Assuming that orange is something intermediate between green and purple, that is.

I have no answers, only questions.
