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

[Angst]

I think it has to do with Age of Consent laws.

It does.

Open floor.

 

[Angst]

Aw I hoped you would define it further.

Full answer: Most of the colors are age groups. The dotted countries require marriage for consent. The pink countries have no age of consent. The grey countries have no data.

I'll post a map soon.

Full answer: Most of the colors are age groups. The dotted countries require marriage for consent. The pink countries have no age of consent. The grey countries have no data.

And I believe the circles indicate, that sex outside marriage is illegal.

I think it'll be easy but... who knows?

 

[say1988]

Antarctic claims?

 

[ales_]

Yes..

 

[Lohrenswald]

Norway from pole to shining pole.

Now, misinterpret.

 

[Takhisis]

Clearly, Norwegians are skilful pole dancers.

Open floor?

Excuse me if I'm doing it wrong-- I've never done this before. It's sort of a continuum as opposed to finite options. The green represents one end and the orange is another.

 

[Takhisis]

Hmmm. Urbanisation of population? Rural v. urban pop ratio? Doesn't quite fit really, but someone's got to make a valiant attempt after three days.

 

[Silv Something]

Education? Languages?

 

[Arwon]

Percentage of forest cover remaining currently, versus a particular year's baseline?

 

[civplayah]

All of you are pretty far off the mark. I'd say Silly Something is closest, though, because it is a social characteristic and not something to do with the environment.

 

[classical_hero]

Something to do with religion?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Is it something like percentage of a generation who is literate but had illiterate parents, or something like that? Or percentage of a generation who is the first to achieve a specific level of education in their family?

 

[Takhisis]

I think it's something far less complicated.

 

[Kyriakos]

Percentage of extra-terrestrials in local universities?

 

[civplayah]

You guys are making great guesses, but they haven't touched upon the map's topic yet.
