Someone else go, I got nothing.

I got nuthin', nuthin' at all, but I would like to point out that it looks like a collection of Christmas presents.

I like that you did the stripes by hand There's certainly some easy way to do that in paint as well, anybody care to tell us? (not meant negatively, just wanted to point out).

So the stripes seem to be a AND category, for the colours I'd guess that they show time (decades) since that would make the most sense with such opposites like France and Indonesia, Spain and Russia, Thailand and Canada.

My first gues was something with Women leadership, but Egypt and Turkey seem to point that towards a no, so I got nothing.

Btw. which caribbean island is that that is orange?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Imports and Exports of various hydrocarbons

 

[W|M]

The orange island is Barbados, and you're completely off the mark

 

[strijder20]

Are the different colours indicating a scale, or different categories?

 

[Optical]

It looks kind of like it's to do with sports.

Countries who have gotten close to world cup championships and ones who have one

They're different categories, although most colors indicate being in more than one category simultaneously.

It looks kind of like it's to do with sports.

Countries who have gotten close to world cup championships and ones who have one

It has nothing to do with sports

 

[Borachio]

It's got me puzzled. I can't even think of stupid guesses.

 

[Takhisis]

Something about languages perhaps.

 

[Borachio]

I can't see anything linguistic there, tbh.

Indonesian New Guinea would be a complete mess. In fact, I think they all would, except for Greenland maybe.

Countries with space programs

No, but it has a lot to do with infrastructure, although very large cities (New York, Moscow, etc.) don't tend to have it as much.

 

[mitsho]

So, do we have here 4 base categories (Red, Blue, Yellow, Striped) where Orange has both Red and Yellow, Green has both Blue and Yellow and Purple has both Red and Blue. Is India the "has all three categories" since it does seem to have a different base colour than the other blue states?

I further assume that Grey is no data, since I can't imagine anything "infrastructure"-related that will not be found in the grey areas of Europe, Argentinia and New Zealand. I'm still confused that it's apparently linked to cities, yet its states that are coloured.

Something to with modes of transportation (Metro, International Airport, Harbour, etc. ...) or Tallest Buildings?

Just saw that Italy apparently has another shade of blue, now I'm really confused...

 

[W|M]

It's to do with modes of transportation, and the base colors are Green, Orange, Yellow and Red Stripes/Burgundy (Which represent the same thing, with Burgundy colored countries being otherwise grey with red stripes). Grey means the country doesn't have anything related to this type of infrastructure at all.

 

[Borachio]

Well, the modes of transport are air, road, rail, sea and inland waterways. But are you talking transport studies here?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Well modes of transport are air, road, rail, sea and inland waterways.

But then every country (that's not landlocked) would have all of them.

 

[Borachio]

Yes. I know. I'm plainly not on the right track. Hmmm. Plane. Track.
