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

[ales_]

for which country is that not applicable ?

If I'm not mistaken - Western Sahara.

 

[chegel]

I gotta ask - for which country is that not applicable ? (i can't tell from the colors which is no data and which is not applicable)

To be honest, I just copied the map from the WHO website and didn't pay much attention to that. They seem to use the same key with the same colors for those two categories (no data and not applicable) for most maps there so chances are there are not necessarily both used on every map even if they appear in the key.
That said it seems Greenland, Kashmir and Western Sahara are not applicable for whatever reasons.

Repost of classical hero's map on the new page:

The map is not political.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Is it that Egypt has one, Iran two, India three and China four of the thing in question, or are there vast masses of them?

 

[Peck of Arabia]

Is it economic? Something to do with growth what with the BRIC countries?

EDIT: wait, no. Greece, North Korea...

 

[shadowplay]

Abortions?

 

[Leoreth]

Imbalance of male/female population?

 

[Lohrenswald]

Imbalance of male/female population?

No way

 

[classical_hero]

The map is a sliding scale of great number. Grey is zero or insignificant, light pink is few, pink is a bit more, red is a lot and brown is heaps. Hopefully that gets the juices flowing. Peck is the closest so far since it is related to economics, but not quite directly.

Certain resources. China #1 is rare earth metals.

 

[Goodfella]

Bird flu paranoia?

 

[classical_hero]

Plarq is on the right track, but not quite correct.

China #1 is rare earth metals.

China is #1 in almost everything...

Iron ore?

 

[classical_hero]

Correct. This is where I got the map and the scale is there also. [wiki]List_of_countries_by_iron_ore_production[/wiki]

Yes, it's here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=12034867#post12034867.
But Latvia, Afghanistan, Nepal and United Arabian Emirates have different colours on this map.
The old map was about most popular sports.
