Guess the Map VII: Bhutan vs. Peru

[Borachio]

Aha!

Availability of foreign newspapers!

 

[amadeus]

Cuba.

 

[bombshoo]

So, the values are numerical in nature- ranging from that ugly shade of browny-ish red as lowest and blue is highest (Maybe I should have stated that at the beginning, oh well)

If brownish-red is the lowest, does that mean North Korea is something with no data, or it's some alternate category (neither high nor low) all together?

 

[Borachio]

Grey is no data.


Children over 30 living with their parents?

 

[bombshoo]

Grey is no data.

But there is no grey, and he said that brownish-red is lowest. North Korea isn't really brown-red. It's just brown.

Edit: Actually, maybe, pilots or pilot's licenses per capita? Seems weird for Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Kenya, and a few others, but the rest it kind of makes sense. There is a rough correlation with countries with large air forces per capita and with lots of islands. Not exact, but somewhat. Maybe single engine planes?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Number of privately owned business, per capita.

French Morocco(?) looks grey to me.

Oh you mean Western Sahara? I suppose that is grey. I missed that, but that might very well be because it's political status is completely up in the air.

Yeah this.

 

[Takhisis]

Federalism v. unitarian regimes/Prime Ministers v. Presidents?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Number of Presidents/Heads of Government/Prime Ministers...... Bosnia has 3 Presidents.

 

[mitsho]

Switzerland has 7, France 1. They are both in the same category...

I'd quickly though names of countries (republic, federation, etc. ...) but it doesn't look like that either. Can we get it confirmed that it's something political?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Type of territorial administration? Bosnia within it has both a Republic and a Federation.

 

[nocho]

Is Sardinia different from the rest of Italy by mistake or design?

 

[Peck of Arabia]

Aha!

Availability of foreign newspapers!

Afraid not- unless it's by some wild coincidence

Number of privately owned business, per capita.

Nope, it's nothing economic like that

But there is no grey, and he said that brownish-red is lowest. North Korea isn't really brown-red. It's just brown.

North Korea does indeed have a category all to itself, and it's not a "no data" kind of cop out it's just significantly lower than anywhere else in the world. I guess it is just brown, now you mention it.

It's nothing technical like that, either - it's all it the political sphere

I've spoilered the other responses as I think they give quite significant clues- you know, in case you want to ponder further

Spoiler :

Oh you mean Western Sahara? I suppose that is grey. I missed that, but that might very well be because it's political status is completely up in the air.

It's just not actually possible for Western Sahara to have any data on this

Federalism v. unitarian regimes/Prime Ministers v. Presidents?

Nope, the legend denotes a numerical scale

Number of Presidents/Heads of Government/Prime Ministers...... Bosnia has 3 Presidents.

I'm glad Bosnia actually has three presidents, I was worried I might have misinterpreted the data. It's still not the right answer though.

Switzerland has 7, France 1. They are both in the same category...

I'd quickly though names of countries (republic, federation, etc. ...) but it doesn't look like that either. Can we get it confirmed that it's something political?

Switzerland is more a council of seven, rather than seven presidents, as I understand it (apologies to the Swiss if I am wrong)

Politics is certainly the right area to be looking

Type of territorial administration? Bosnia within it has both a Republic and a Federation.

Nope, I think I'd run out of colours before I covered all possible types of administration across the globe

EDIT

Is Sardinia different from the rest of Italy by mistake or design?

Another error! I thought I'd fixed them all! I'm bad at this

For future reference- by definition the answer relies on the values being applicable to nation states alone

 

[Optical]

Voter turnout?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Length of rule of leaders? Kim Il Sung is still the de jure leader.

 

[Optical]

But North Korea is 'significantly lower'.

 

[Thedrin]

And Madagascar's President has only been in power for 5 or so years. Nice idea, though. A lot of countries looked like they matched up.

 

[dutchfire]

Number of leaders the country has had in history?
edit: Nah, that is bogus, I should have looked at the map first, instead of the page #2 posts I suppose average length of rule could work?
