    On maps, is there any logic to what color is given to which state or country, or is it totally random?

    		It's just random.

    		Not always. For example in many old maps the countries of the British Empire were always coloured red (or pink). The rest of the world's countries were coloured at random, but what can you expect from foreigners?
