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

beginning of a space program?
 
Since other space things have been guessed... First human in space!

This gone for too long. I'll accept this one.

It is first human in space from incriminated nations, based on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_space_travel_by_nationality
(And the reason why I picked this map was the "Whoa, an Afghani astronaut!" effect)

The breakup of USSR (And its satellites) meed things up, so i coloured a state with two colours if they have two claims (or none as the current state) on sending humans into space. I coloured the post-soviet republics with claim from time of USSR only if there was a mention on the wiki page that an astronaut from particular soviet republic gone into space.

So, your turn.
 
Heh, sweet! Okay, so here's the next map:

Countries that have had communist political movements, insurrections, or revolutions within the past century?
 
So, nothing to go on then? (Great Britain would be black if that were the case, Joe.)
 
Hey, it was just three guesses. It's the name of the game :p
 
Ooh, binary colouring! This looks fun!
All your major Western Nations (and Japan) and a few, scattered, smaller countries here and there. The BRIC countries not included (or included, depends how you look at it, I guess). Too many poor countries in the grey category for it to be a measure of wealth.

That kind of yes/no setup leads me to believe it's something to do with signing a treaty or having some type of policy. Does it have anything to do with Afghanistan? A lot of the countries are troop contributors, but it's not an exact fit.
 
I was assuming that black was the on-colour and grey the off. Am I wrong?
 
Countries that have changed name or have came into being during the XXth century ?
 
I don't remember there being an insurrection or a revolution here ;)

True, but there was a Communist political movement at one point. Heck, there was a Communist political movement in pretty much every country in the world at one point. :p

Well yes, that's why I added the two other options along with it :p
