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

[Eat_Up_Martha]

The absence of data from so many countries indicates that it's probably not something universal like demographic change, resources, gdp, etc. I think Keli's on to something with the international agreements.

Some treaty of which the 'States and the USSR were founding members, with other countries signing on later? I'm tempted to say some sort of 'Nuclear Weapons Treaty,' but it doesn't seem to fit.

No one. But you are right with your thinking about the superfluous gray.

Hint: Each colour represent one decade when something happened for first time for that country. It goes from '60 to '00. If its gray, it hasn't happened (yet).

Assassinations?

Spoiler :

So, it's some sort of treaty I guess. It has to be something related to the Communist side of the world, see Syria, which for a long long time until now is/was staunchly Socialistic. It is also an outsider in International Law...

Some sort of Banking Treaty? Chemical Weapons? Something on Israel?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Something to do with elections and communism. (ukraine)

Is there a reason why Alaska is not highlighted?

the first nuclear reactor in each country?

the first nuclear reactor in each country?

Absolutely no, many of them are countries without nuclear arms.

Let me see, there are many countries such as Canada, United States, Spain, Russia, Latvia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Czech, Belarus and Azerbaijan are incompletely coloured.
Perhaps, independence and promotion of current government/democracy? Seems wrong...

Blue countries (the earliest?)
United States, Russia (W), Kazakhstan, Ukraine (W)

Light Blue countries
Democratic Germany, Poland, Czech, Slovakia (W), Bulgaria, Uzbekistan

Green countries
Canada, Mexico, Cuba, France, Netherlands, Federal Germany, Romania, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afganistan, India, Mongolia, Vietnam

Yellow countries
Great Britain (United Kingdom), Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Latvia, Slovakia (E), Russia (E), Azerbaijian, Ukraine (E), Japan

Red countries (the latest)
Brazil, South Africa, Sweden, Isreal, Iran, Communist China, South Korea, Malaysia

I guess it really has something to do with governments

 

[carmen510]

Possibly crime rate? Corruption? Money laundering? Exports of contraband? Black market activity?

First satellite launches?

 

[Algeroth]

First satellite launches?

This is the closest answer so far.

The WWvictor's list is helpful. Eche colour represents decade, starting with 60' ending with red 00'.

And sorry for the delay and not updating the map (The reason for not coloring Alaska is my own stupidity) But power adapter for my laptop break down and I can't do that on Kindle.

 

[WWTVICTOR]

Space Program? Or the set up of the Space Authority/Organization/Ministry? (like NASA)

But what is the sequence of colours? Is Blue = earlier? Paint Colours are not that clear that's why I always include a scale...

I said nuclear reactor, not nuclear arms gotcha? Plus, you left out some countries, like Hungary.

Just some random guess: the first time a pilot reached sonic speed?

First to win space victory

 

[sepamu92]

Since other space things have been guessed... First human in space!

 

[Duke of Britain]

[Verarde]

First to send people to the ISS.

 

[sepamu92]

First to send people to the ISS.

The ISS didn't exist in the '60s...
