The map provides a worldwide view of politics. Green is most equal, followed by light green, yellow and then orange is the least equal. There was no data that could be found for the countries highlighted in grey. 

It is clear that the countries in dark green are Canada, the United States, Australia and the Scandanavian countries. The reasons for this is that these countries are quite well off, and have higher GDP's in compariosn to some of the other countries and can afford to educate women, and also educate the entire population about gender equality. 

There is also a lot of data missing for African countries with regards to their participation in politics, but generally there is less equality, especially in North Africa. It is important to observe countries with great inequality in politics such as Mozambique and Ghana. They are developing countries who are also middle income countries, and this means more money is being invested into education and women are contributors. 

The Middle East is seeminly the least equal place in the world, due to the fact that countries such as Qatar & Saudi Arabia are all orange, inclusive of other Asian countries such as Iran, Yemen. They are all orange, indicating least equality in this indicator. The reasons for this is that they are mostly Arab/Muslim countries, were many women do not go to work, but mostly stay at home. This limits their participation in government and in politics. In addition, status of women may not be so high in these countries as well, given that in Saudi Arabia women are not alllowed to drive by themselves. So women in these countries may not get the opportunity to actively participate in their governments.
