Guess the map

[Arwon]

Why can I not see the map? ):

 

[PiMan]

Countries with large portions of hydro electric power. (50%+?)

 

[DroopyTofu]

Countries with shortages of good, clean, or available water?

Countries with large portions of hydro electric power. (50%+?)

Wow, that's spot on.

 

[fizikis]

Countries with large portions of hydro electric power. (50%+?)

Wow, that's spot on.

Only hydro electric or all renewable? How do islands like New Zealand, Iceland, Sri Lanka, and the Caribbean one get hydroelectric power? I don't think they have large rivers. Or do they?

You don't necessarily need large rivers for a hydroelectric plant. For example, Dominica and Fiji take advantage of their waterfalls and rapids. Iceland, New Zealand and Sri Lanka all have sizable rivers (not large, like say the Yangtze) and built their plants in mountainous areas.

By the way, my source is the CIA World Factbook.

 

[Masada]

New Zealand has some sizeable rivers...

Tasmania should be blue! Most of its power comes from hydro, apart from what they import from Victoria.

 

[amadeus]

To be fair, I don't think any subnational entities were included.

 

[Arwon]

Pfft. Like Tasmania is part of Australia. When I am down there I keep getting the panicky feeling I should have my passport handy and that they don't accept Australian Dollars.

This will be easy. Define colors.

Somalia wasn't China-aligned, at least to any significant degree. Albania later broke with China after it got "too liberal."

Fun fact: the Communist Party of Brazil was pro-Albanian aligned, believing that Albania was the only true socialist state from Mao's death onwards.

Siad Barre was China-aligned, though the relationship between China and Albania and China and Somalia isn't remotely like the relationship between the USSR and the Warsaw Pact states.

Albania later broke with China after it got "too liberal."

And when they start to reduce aid to Albania too.

Siad Barre was China-aligned, though the relationship between China and Albania and China and Somalia isn't remotely like the relationship between the USSR and the Warsaw Pact states.

I believe that Barre was closer to the U.S. (playing off anti-Soviet, Ethiopian sentiments) than he was to China. Yeah, China supplied them with a few cheap MiG copies, but the U.S. had military advisers and a military base established there.
