This map is really original and funny at first (after a while, it's not so funny, specially since you live in any of those regions). It breaks the developed/nondeveloped democratic/nondemocratic clichés...It can be changed and refined of course but well, it is intended to be a "caricature" not a political map. I would also add some drugs spots in the oh so developed USA, perhaps one of the only coincidences with Chavez, that we are "drugs" countries because others consume them. Damn, I would legalize drugs once and for all, so prices fall and we diminish the $ize of the problem!
There is very little one can comment without falling foul of a politically correct death panel. If I say anything about the sentient challenged Sphenisciformes, I’m sure to get a 4 AM knock on my door from the PC sentencing advisory brigade. All I will not say is that it is very funny.
To be accurate, some countries would need more than one color. Venezuela should be an ugly set of stripes - not only the lavender of drugs, but the tan of lawlessness and yellow of political strife (those of its nearest neighbors), but also the light blue from Eastern Europe, corrupt and broken.
Put it all together, you're heading towards the Wastelands of Siberia - with the color you might just get by mixing the four above.
Isn't it? I think it would be rather fitting if Chavez changed his wardrobe to match. Not only would it match the map, he would look much more like the clown he is.
