[Takhisis]

Nukular power plants?

 

[JohannaK]

I thought so, but I'd be genuinely surprised if Italy had more than France.

 

[warpus]

Number of exorcisms performed per year.

 

[Goodfella]

Places James Gandolfini liked to visit.

We need a hint. Any hint about "this". Seriously, no clue. Gray makes it very strange: what can this "this" be in Vatican but not San Marino? I admit even running google search. Did you use special software to produce that map?

If Paint is considered to be special software, then yes.
Hint #1: It's something situated in this countries. For example, if China and Hong Kong were together, they would be orange.

Income disparities by region?

Wow! You painted so many countries just for this game?

My logic is this: "situated" -- cannot be some kind of people who share the same distinction, like Nobel Prize winners. "This" must be something very specific, like a branch of some particular brand, because if we can trust map 100% -- too many countries are colored grey in this era of globalization. Like having a McDonalds, but Norway has some, I am sure. What can possibly be absent in Norway, North Korea and be abundant in Iraq? Present in India but absent in Pakistan? I love this map (if it is accurate).

Is having "this" good or bad? Armenia has some, but Belorussia, Georgia and Azerbaijan do not. Must be something very unique, but can we apply categories such as good or bad to it?

 

[Goodfella]

Does it have to do with geography?

I've made maps using almost every country.

1) Yes. And before that I've counted everything because I don't think such statistics exist.
2) Rather good than bad.
3) Belarus, not Belorussia.

Does it have to do with geography?

It depends on what you mean. It's something situated, so probably yes.

 

[Takhisis]

Is it alcohol-related?

 

[Tigranes]

I am frustrated. Showed this map to knowledgeable coworker -- no clue. Checking with Mormon website.

Profile of Norway: Number of Temples 0 Temples.
US -- 81.
Could it be it?

 

[ales_]

No to both. Tygranes, in this topic I think you're more knowledgeable then your coworker.
