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

[Goodfella]

Capital cities that were specifically built from the ground up to be capital cities?

That's it.

I left out the ones that aren't relevant anymore (like Ayutthaya).

According to the wiki list, Japan should have been included.

According to the wiki list, Japan should have been included.

I believe the map is current capitals, so no Japan.

just FYI, Delhi was already in existence when the capital moved from Calcutta. New Delhi is mostly an area that "grew up" to accommodate more people that moved.

So, something that most of the world does or has, but that Scandinavia and most of the Commonwealth doesn't/hasn't.

It has probably something to do with Che Guevara would be my guess.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Green are countries where Che Guevara fought, red are where he visited, i'd guess.
Though the rest are quite many...

And that's right ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara#International_diplomacy

There is some subjectivety on the lime green category.

Does it have to do something with the NATO or U.N.S.C ?

 

[Lohrenswald]

Nein.

I'm aware. I was wondering about that myself. My impression is that Delhi has been a city since sometime BCE and when the British moved from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911 they decided to build a new city near Delhi and since then the two have pretty much merged together in one metropolis which has like 22,000,000 people with most of these people living in what is technically Delhi and a few hundred thousand live in what is technically New Delhi. If I recall correctly from when I looked it up a few days ago, there were only like 400,000 people in Delhi in 1911 so the merger theory makes sense. I haven't really done a lot of research on it though.

As for my guess: anything to do with military?

 

[Lohrenswald]

No, it doesn't.

 

[Goodfella]

Politics at all?

 

[warpus]

Something to do with geology?

 

[bonefang]

[Lohrenswald]

Politics at all?

I think it could be classified as having to do with politics, yes.
