Guess the Map VIII: Didn't Color the Island Countries

[Leoreth]

We need a hint.

Okay, wanted to wait a day.

Think politics.

On Antarctica: depending on how you phrase the categories, it makes total sense to put in into the gray category. But it only really make sense for actual countries.

Edit: new page repost.

Spoiler :

 

[Takhisis]

Something to do with administrative divisions?

 

[Goodfella]

Maybe grey are countries where you vote for a person and yellow are countries where you vote for a party and the others are something else?

Edit: Probably not.

 

[Leoreth]

Negative.

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

Something to do with the way legislatures/parliaments are organized?

 

[KMRblue1027]

Investment in scientific research by various governments?

You're getting closer. That's not what the map is about, but it influences what types of categories exist.

(I'm sorry for being so vague but I try to be helpful without spoiling too much.)

Different kinds of elections? Presidential and legislative? Some countries have both, some only one etc.?

As before, that's important for the kinds of categories that exist, but not the actual subject of the map.

I have the habit to check every guess on wikipedia first to see that I am not totally wrong. So after I remembered what countries like Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia and Argentina have in common I did just that only to find this very map.

It is female head of government, female head of state, both of those either combined in one person or not.
Edit: Those countries fulfilled these criteria at least once since independence. It is not only current heads of state/government.

Looks like it. To be precise countries that have had those at some point (since independence)

 

[Leoreth]

Correct.

Map comes form here.

Yellow: female head of government
Blue: female head of state
Light green: combined office of head of state and government held by a woman
Dark green: two separate offices both held by a woman

I would have started dropping hints about similarities between Germany, Australia and Argentina today, I guess that would've tipped some people off.

Chegel has the floor.

Shouldn't the UK be dark green since Maggie Thatcher and Queen Lizzy were both in power during the 80s?

The map is excluding monarchs as heads of state for some reason.

Here is the next one:

Excluding monarchs but including Governors-General. Huh.

 

[Arakhor]

The map only mentions elected or appointed leaders and monarchs are not generally known for their electoral status.

 

[CocoIsKing28]

Subbed

 

[Lohrenswald]

Is the map about one of those bad things the tousand-year goals want to eliminate?

 

[shadowplay]

Cholera?

 

[W|M]

Malaria?
