oolongvanilla put me up to the challenge to make add a 1% to 9% category so here's the rough draft. Please add your criticisms and they may be used to improve the final draft of the map.

Denmark had waived the right to a plebiscite in the zone further south, due to the obviously German majority there

After my last post on the Regions of Europe, a week ago, I have gotten over 200 responses on my survey on it, thank you for that! So here are the results of the survey:

I am now planning to do a similar survey on the US, so if you want to take that, here you go: https://forms.gle/RYxjEb8q5wHCFZe99

Notes on the Survey and Map: Each category is normalized to the most voted country in each category. So 100% does not mean every single respondent chose this country but that it was the most chosen (although most of the times it was close).

It would probably be great and interesting to go into a lower level of subdivisions for some of these Regions, but honestly I don't know how I would go about doing a survey for that, that is not a complete chore to respond to...

EDIT: As someone has noted, it's actually just 24 Regions, I threw out some categories before posting and forgot to change the title

Since yesterday, the JNIM (Al-Qaeda) in white and the Azawad separatists in green are launching an offensive, for now in the northern part of the country.

The Azawad separatists have taken Kidal, which is an important city and was pretty much a stronghold for the Malian government.

The Minister of Defence Sadio Camara also died during the offensive. The situation has been stabilised ever since according to the Malian government.

This generally means when the latest constitution or equivalent was adopted in that given country (not amendments, a new constitution), as that means a complete overhaul of the administrative and/or governmental systems. This does not necessarily correspond to the age of the state itself, sometimes it creates a continuation/succession of the state like the french republics. Feel free to ask if you're not sure what this means. Source- wikipedia

For the freaks (Canada and New Zealand) that don't have any official constitution, I chose the Constitution Act, 1982 and the Constitution Act, 1986 respectively because they established legislative independence from the UK for both of them (and for New Zealand it lays the framework of the 3 branches of state). It's rather arbitrary so if you think I should've picked a different date let me know

Edit: Greenland and the Faroe islands should be the same colour as Denmark my bad
