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

[Truthy]

Something to do with sports?

 

[metatron]

Damn it It was a decent guess though, despite the bad lack of Korea on the map.

If i was pressed i would call your guess the closest so far.
Still lightyears away though. Completely wrong category and everything.

Edit:

Now we are in business!

I had a new guess too, check the last page (not sure if it is correct, but worth a try)

(about photovoltaics)

 

[Takhisis]

Number of times that country or one of its former metropoleis has won some sort of international tournament, or hosted the Olympic Games.

Nope. Way too useful.
Germany's lead is way bigger and yet it is pretty useless for the purposeses of patriotic pride on the internet (compared to PV, which would qualify as, you know, modern, useful, ingeneous etc. etc.).

Derrick CB is on the right track.

Won some sort of international tournament?
Yes.

Hosted Olympic Games.
Hosted? No.

Times to get most Olympic gold medals?

 

[strijder20]

Boycots/not participating at the olympics?

 

[Borachio]

Number of Olympic medalists having their title stripped from them?

 

[metatron]

Times to get most Olympic gold medals?

No. That's so US #1.
Like even the USSR looks puny in comparison. If you stick with Summer Olympics.

But it has to do with the Olympics, yes.

Boycots/not participating at the olympics?

Germany didn't participate in 20, 24, 48, 52 and the respective Germanys did boycott in 76 and 80, which adds up to quite a bit.
But no, that's not it.

Number of Olympic medalists having their title stripped from them?

No, it's actually about winning something.

 

[Borachio]

Winning some specific event?

 

[metatron]

Winning some specific event?

Yes.
A group of events. But yes.

 

[Borachio]

Rifle shooting?

 

[metatron]

Rifle shooting?

Shooting (that's a summer sport) is sooo USA #1.
In Biathlon Germany actually has the tiniest lead over the USSR/Russia. No - i stand corrected - it's a tie actually.

But that's not it anyway.

 

[Borachio]

So it's a winter sport? (If you've said so before, I've missed it.)

 

[metatron]

So it's a winter sport? (If you've said so before, I've missed it.)

No it's a summer sport.
Rather a class of three sports, six events. Three individual, three team.

Btw: I ab-so-lute-ly don't care about sports. And this one is extremly useless for patriotic internet bragging.
So i had to have some other motivation...

 

[Borachio]

Me neither. But I'm intrigued. Water or land sport?

 

[metatron]

Me neither. But I'm intrigued. Water or land sport?

Uhm, land.
Occasionally there is a little bit of water in one of the sports but it's very much not a "water" sport.

Horses?
Number of gold medals in equestrian events?

Aw, Borachio did all the work and you snatch it.

Jup, i wanted a map with horsies* - just to troll Takhisis.

I really thought this would be easier. The map reeks of western entitlement. It's shouting "Romney!".
Now you tell me how i was supposed to get people from meatballs and nuclear facilities to horsie ballet?!

*Tried to find all sorts of things, like maps of populations of horses/feral horses etc. Found nothing!
Went like "Screw it. I'll do the medal thing - the dataset is so small i can whip that up in 20 seconds myself."
