Can you guess what it represents? Pls don’t cheat or I’ll cry 
edit: its DVD Regions
DVD regions?
why do i remember shit like this smh
I confirmed my suspicion with a quick Google that it’s a
spoiler
DVD regions map
but the more I look the less I understand about why the regions are divided up the way they are. What’s Australia doing with South and Latin America? Why do Madagascar and India share a number with Russia and Poland? What the hell even is going on with 2?
spoiler
What’s really weird to me is the mix of NTSC and PAL/other in the same region. Japan is NTSC and Europe is PAL so why are they both in 2?
IIRC those choices were made specifically so that they wouldn’t be compatible, basically acting as extra regions.
I suspect it was an attempt to group by dome sort of income/PPP tiering.
They couldn’t sell DVDs to America for $20 if they also sold compatible ones for Ghana at $3.
That’s the right answer, also why Australia isn’t in the same region as Europe so they’d have to buy the more expensive Australian releases.
I am on this map and I dont like it
Hmmm I’ll take a blind guess or two
My initial guess was some sort of US military command division but that doesn’t make sense to me with some of the groups (South Africa being seperate from Africa for one).
My next guess was splitting the world into equal population shares but India being grouped with Africa shoots that one down.
It’s not a RISK map, linguistic map, political alliance map, or a map of former empires/zones of imperial control
Hmmmm ok I’m stumped, I’ll check the comments to see what it is
I never knew region 4 extended to oceania i thought it was only Latam
I already knew what this was.
I think this one is better though.
nice find! this is the world map for a near future turn based strategy game i’m writing.
the major factions:
A/1: cyberpunk monarchy Cambodia-Brunei-Thailand (inspired by austria-hungary), feudal buddhist monarchy, but good food. (they also control the completely destroyed western hemisphere because no one else wanted it. it is populated by stone age rat people)
B/2: Eurovisiontopia, a gaypunk socdem republic. nice place to live except fr*nch is still an auxilliary official language. their secret superweapon is called “diiss pwan”
C/3: PRIC. 90% of the world population lives here. it is the soviet union 2.0 and is dominated by megacities with good infrastucture. used to be called PRICK but they lost Korea to the CBT Monarchy in the Great Peninsulan Penis War

No way Australia and New Zealand would have less freedom points than the middle east if that were the case.
I cheated. I know what it is.
My guess is that it’s levels of trade with china?
Oh this is funny as fuck
which color side of the road they drive on
