Guess the Map VI: Retroactive Cartographer

Usage of scientific theory and experiments instead of theological teaching?

Use of scientific theory and experimentation is correct.

Well, specifically, it's scientific literacy by state.

You're up, WIM.

 

[W|M]

Open floor.

 

[Verarde]

Boom.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

WW2 map?

 

[SouthernKing]

Axis espionage?

 

[Save_Ferris]

Looks like post WWII.

Looks like post WWII.

The division of France suggests otherwise.

edit: it's League of Nations. It has to be. I just don't know what about it.

The orange areas all look like mandates after WWI.

edit 2: dark grey is never joined, Alaska is light grey 'cause it was a territory at the time. I guess, following from that, Libya is lighter than Italy for the same reason... and Newfoundland light blue cause it's a territory of the UK, dark blue.

 

[say1988]

Yeah, contre must have it.

*colours may be off due to colourblindness*
Dark Blue [i.e. Britain] original members that never left
Blue [.e. Mexico] joined later and never left
Green [i.e. Italy] original members that left
Yellow [i.e. USSR] joined later and left
Grey [i.e. USA] never joined
Orange [i.e. Palestine] mandates

Lighter versions of a colour are colonies (or territories) of a country in that group.


Northern France represents the Free French. That was what had me confused.

 

[choxorn]

Then what are Argentina and Yugoslavia?

 

[say1988]

No idea, the list seems fairly comprehensive. The only things I can think of is some sort of special type of membership (i.e. observer status like that which some countries have held with the UN) or leaving and rejoining

 

[emzie]

According to the wiki page, they left but rejoined. I don't consider that cheating as we'd already worked out what the map represented.

I wonder why the map maker lumped Tibet in with China....

 

[Eat_Up_Martha]

Benin and Togo look like a strip of bacon and are making me hungry.

That is all.

 

[Verarde]

Yeah, say1988 got it. Here's the full map with key:

 

[say1988]

N I didn't. Contre got it. I just eleborated.

[W|M]

Urbanisation?

 

[uat2d]

% of people who use public transportation regularly?

 

[emzie]

Nothing yet. It's not really wealth-related. I wouldn't go as far as to say wealth is irrelevant, since I think what the map tracks both encourages wealth and builds upon wealth, but don't focus on the fact that countries in green tend to be wealthy.

 

[Dreadnought]

Is gray no data, or zero of x?
