Guess the Map V: A Map is Worth a Thousand Words

If it's open floor, try this one:

Spoiler :

I love a map that puts the UK in the same category as Afghanistan No hints because its easy.

EDIT: Made a mistake. Italy should ben the lightest pink.

Looting and violence?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Something related to executions of gay people prolly.

So is it pink is one thing, blue is another thing, green another, and the striped countries have an overlap?

 

[chegel]

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is blue, green and red, apparently the only country with three colors.

... impressive, nerd.

Greenland and the Faeroe Islands are counted separate from Denmark.

That does not seem to be right.

So we need to find a link between Egpyt, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It seems that Kosovo it by itself and most probably the highest. We also Congo and Switzerland in the same group, but Congo is also Green.

So perhaps it is international intervention, or about governments?

Blue is also Cyprus and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

The darkest red is Macedonia.

How I wish it were.

Yes.

It's quite impressive that a) you saw that those few pixels indeed had that colour variance, and b) you matched it to the country

Greenland and the Faeroe Islands are counted separate from Denmark.

Nah, just Greenland. I think that was the only non-country that I coloured separately since it's so big and so well-known. I guess I'm just naughty.

So, some more findings:

The brightest green is found only in St. Kitts and Nevis and the Central African Republic.
The darkest red is only in Macedonia and the second darkest only in Switzerland and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Seychelles is colored too (two colors for three pixels ); pale red and pale green.

Well, I cannot make any sense out of that but maybe someone else can...

Right you are. Oh bollocks - should be the lightest green and the third red for the CAR. That's embarrassing.

Its been like 24 hours how so I guess its time for a hint.

So here's the map, Italy and some Pacific islands corrected, with the scale. The grey countries mustn't apply.

Hey would you look at that... it increases in two dimensions. How strange.

Question about Cyprus, is there a distinction made for Northern Cyprus in this?

 

[Mongoloid Cow]

Nah. I just kept it to the borders of the base map I found.

 

[emzie]

Does it have anything to do with gambling?

 

[jtb1127]

Anything to do with drug?

 

[Mongoloid Cow]

No on both counts.

 

[BigTin]

Do the red, blue and green each represent a certain thing, and the darker it gets the more or higher that thing is?

 

[jtb1127]

For the record I meant drugs, not "drug". Doubt that changes anything though.

Yes, that's the scale Tin.

I'll just go through the big categories. Anything to do with legislature?

 

[Singularity]

Is it perhaps geography, metheorology, political, religious, antropology, trade or culture?

These maps are almost never easy unless you can provide a sliver of context of what we're looking at. Hinting without spoiling is a clever art.
