Conflict Meter, map edition plus

My Conflict Meter, charting the ebbs and flows of major conflicts throughout the world, has been on hiatus for a little while now, but I think it's time to bring it back. Instead of the usual "Up" and "Down" lists, here is the Conflict Meter in map form with a few non-violent but politically serious nonetheless conflicts thrown in.

Key
Red: major current violent conflict
Yellow: less serious, continuing, dormant, or recent, conflict
Blue: previous violence or political conflict
Green: political conflict, usually nonviolent, sometimes crippling to state
Black: conflict with other nations in foreign relations
Note: the larger in number or darker in color the dots, the more severe the conflict
