Guess the Map VII: Bhutan vs. Peru

Something to do with taxes? A lot of the countries are on this list.

That looks to be it - countries without income taxes.

Can't be, some of them are missing. All the little Caribbean states, Andorra, and Brunei, are missing.

Interesting, I'm going to have to read more about Norway when I have some time. Hey, speaking of which, next time I'm in Norway, can I crash on your couch?

You'd probably want to visit some of the more interesting places than where I live anyway (I live rather far from the fjords and the mountains).

Yemen has income tax, by the way.

Can we have a hint?

 

[Borachio]

All those countries with world class motor racing drivers who are also Olympic ping pong champions?

 

[Goodfella]

No it's not income taxes.

Nothing to do with sea levels rising or water supplies? I thought that would have been pretty close.

Okay it does have something to do with water.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Countries with no fresh water?

 

[Antilogic]

Countries with the largest percentage of water from saltwater desalination?

Countries with the largest percentage of water from saltwater desalination?

I was thinking this.

 

[Goodfella]

Countries with no fresh water?

Kind of close.

Countries with the largest percentage of water from saltwater desalination?

That's not what the map is but the two are probably related.

 

[Goodfella]

I'm reposting it so you guys don't have to flip back.

Spoiler :

 

[Antilogic]

Countries with the largest desalination plants?

EDIT: No, stupid Vatican...

Countries with the largest water deficits (imported water from elsewhere)?

 

[Lohrenswald]

Countries that use up their fresh water reserves faster than they regenerate?

 

[Borachio]

Countries that rely on rainfall collection reservoirs for fresh water supplies?

 

[Goodfella]

No, none of these are correct. But I'm sure those are all qualities of these countries.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Countries with 100% religious people !

 

[shadowplay]

Not Monaco...

 

[Lohrenswald]

Is it about rainwater, groundwater, river-/lakewater (or lack of it), imported water or another type of water?

 

[Goodfella]

river-/lakewater (or lack of it),

Close enough. It's countries without rivers. Wadis don't count.

I accidentally colored Micronesia when I meant the Marshall Islands, but I'm sure this isn't a big problem.

Now for a new take on "Guess the map".

What Islands are these?

Edit: This was the map:

The Canary Islands?

If these are the Canary Islands, I'm a milkshake.
