Votes on some UN resolution concerning Saudi Arabia? e: Wait, no, Western Sahara would be N/A on that map.

The Channel Islands are there - and coloured differently from the UK. Meanwhile the Isle of Man is coloured the same as the UK.

My guess would be something related to systems of government, since both Vatican City and Saudi Arabia are absolute monarchies. But then, so are a few other countries which aren't coloured black on the map.

poo poo, I think you're right. The black ones are monarchies that don't have even the pretense of a legislative assembly.

Yeah, I think it's that. Argentina has a state religion and nowhere in Southern Africa has one. Doesn't the College of Cardinals count for the Vatican though?

The College doesn't legislate. It's only an advisory council and they obviously elect the monarch, but once elected the Pope doesn't answer to them in any way. Saudi Arabia apparently has some kind of advisory council as well but no legislature of any sort.

But then, Saudi Arabia has the Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia and the map description says it includes legislatures with no power so I don't know if it's totally accurate.

The Belgian posted:The Vatican also has the college of cardinals. College of Cardinals isn't a legislature, as it makes no laws. It's more like the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire. Either way, it doesn't have authority over the Vatican, but over the Catholic Church. The closest thing Catholicism has is an ecumenical council, but the Vatican itself is essentially the modern translation of the personal fiefdom of the pope.

Maximum yearly tuition fees. Scotland is only free for Scottish people which is what that * stands for.

I figured it would be a bit too easy.  I was trying to find a world map, but there don't seem to be any decent ones. Also, what's wrong with you, England?

Yup. And Welsh and Northern Irish people. I wonder why Catalonia or Bavaria don't start pulling that poo poo too.

I want to do a Master's degree in Scotland and I'm an EU citizen, but it's actually really expensive unless you choose some kind of technical subject or healthcare. Like, close to 10.000 pounds per year.
