Maybe it means "There are no urban areas here, therefore no urban air pollution"?

Alsace-Lorraine being a historically contested region is no news, but Belgium successfully staking a claim on it is.

Of course it's Swedish. it gets worse if you look at the questions used to determine the map http://www.iffs.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Questions-Culture-Map_WVS.pdf quote:V152.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Eh, I don't know, I think it could be justified as the modern expression of traditional tendencies towards xenophobia/favoring the in-group. Plus modernity is not exactly modern anymore. Yeah, but it fails to account for when "the in-group" doesn't line up with nationality. Which is the likely situation in a large number of countries, particularly post-colonial ones. Unless for those brackets for "nationality" they also swap in the relevant ethnic nationality. Also I expected more than a lousy five questions for each axis on that chart. Though I suppose that's why countries have moved so drastically in position in what I assume was only a couple years.

Why futureworld with a vast African Union and others would name a joint defence initiative after Norse mythology instead of giving it a name like "Strategic Alliance Union", who knows.
