Guess the Map VI: Retroactive Cartographer

[mitsho]

Mitsho, you're being too specific.

Number of Tourists per year?

Nah, the numbers seem too low...

Nope that's correct. Here is what I used:
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_tou_arr-economy-tourist-arrivals

And wikipedia shows similar figures:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings

 

[mitsho]

Ah Tourist arrivals, I was thinking of Overnight Stays as a measuring unit (which then of course balloons everything way up). I had a number in my head for the small French town of Lourdes which is 60 million per year, so yeah, that's why I thought it strange.

And you just forgot to colour Estonia, according to your linked website, they have around 2 Mio per year.

Ehm, I will be away/busy til Thursday, so open floor until then if someones has a mpa.

Grey means no data, I didn't bother with most of the islands

Oh, I thought I looked back to see if it was missing but it sounds like I'm blind.

As for the map?
Is light blue the highest and dark red the lowest? Or the other way around?

I assume light blue is a bad thing, yes?

Light blue is the lowest, dark red is the highest.

 

[mitsho]

So, something that New Zealand and Denmark is worst/best at?

Number of Sheep?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Number of sheep related ... atrocities ?

 

[sepamu92]

I'm sorry, but that color scale is really confusing.

Is it drivers/cars per capita?

 

[jtb1127]

Is it a scale? Or different types of something?

 

[emzie]

Corruption?

Is it a scale? Or different types of something?

It's... a scale.

Light blue is the lowest, dark red is the highest.

The black line is continuing the scale.

 

[wabatt]

It's... a scale.



The black line is continuing the scale.

well thank goodness someone can make sense of it, I was starting to question my map-making skills

nope not corruption

 

[jtb1127]

It's... a scale.

I was...just making sure it was not each type of something...

...My guess...: immigrant populations?

 

[jtb1127]

I'm going to bump this because it has been almost 24 hours since the last guess.

 

[hoplitejoe]

wabatt are you colour blind? (honest question) the blue to yellow section of the scale make no sense.

 

[wabatt]

wabatt are you colour blind? (honest question) the blue to yellow section of the scale make no sense.

No, I just didn't plan the gradient all the way through. I had had some vauge idea of going cool colors to warm colors but it never mateierlized. I'll put up a re-colored version later in the day.

EDIT:

Here's a hint, the value is measured in kilograms.

 

[emzie]

Denmark and New Zealand make me think of dairy farming, but then Greenland doesn't make me think of dairy farming. But perhaps reindeer are milked there.

So... dairy farming?

edit: oh, Bahamas are also in the darkest red category. *ponders*

 

[Ice_Tyrant]

Wildy guessing height of citizens

 

[jtb1127]

Territorial waters?

 

[wabatt]

Sorry, the red in the Bahamas is left over from the old map, it should be the same color as the U.S also..

the value is measured in kilograms.

oh, and dairy farming is the closest so far, well that and the sheep thing (not the atrocities one).
