There is no grey on the map so why is it on the key? It doesn't make sense.

Indeed, why is Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy, labeled as an unicameral legistlature?! North Korea is similarly mislabled, as is China. Also, isn't Thailand unicameral? What about Guinea or Gabon? This map is an absolute mess. I'm not even sure I want to try to fix it, as many countries do not fit neatly on the unicameral/bicameral dipole. Maybe we should scrap it and start over. What about countries that sorta theoretically have a legistlature, but that are funtionally dictatorial?

Indeed, much on this map is highly disputable. Guinea, for instance, clearly has a unicameral legislature (see, e.g., Politics of Guinea#Legislative branch). It would probably be a good idea to start again from scratch, as proposed by Prophet121. --Alib (talk) 19:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Queensland, Australia

[edit]

In Queensland, Australia there is only one house, all other states have two houses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.207.230 (talk) 04:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The nation of Scotland has an unicameral system and should be shown on the map as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.159.17.137 (talk) 23:28, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scotland is not a sovereign state either. SeverityOne (talk) 22:51, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Norway

[edit]

There should be an additional colour, as Norway has a kind of semi-bicameralism, as mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.167.199.67 (talk) 22:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Same for Germany. Germany's legislative branch is split in two seperate bodies but it's not a bicameral system per se. "Foreign commentators sometimes tend to compare it to upper houses such as the US Senate or the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, even though the Bundesrat is not part of a bicameral body or part of the German parliament." from Bundesrat of Germany Igiarmpr (talk) 04:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
