The map is wrong and the chapter misleading  The dark blue states on the map are those with very high HDI, but this colour DOES NOT cover all 'very high HDI' countries. Many of these countries are coloured lighter blue as developing countries. According to the UN, the 'very high HDI' developed countries start already with Barbados with HDI 0.788. As an example, the Great Britain is a developed, very high HDI county according to UN (HDI 0.849) but is the same colour on the map as Iran, Russia or Kazakchstan, all 'high HDI' developing countries with HDI 0.700-0.719.
