Suriname should be red instead of blue.

De nationaliteit van een kind wordt bij de geboorte bepaald op basis van de nationaliteit van de ouders. Suriname hanteert het bloedbeginsel en geen grondbeginsel.

translated:

The nationality of a child is determined at birth based on the nationality of the parents. Suriname uses the rule of blood and not rule of land.

which is kinda logical as Surinamese law is based on the laws of The Netherlands.

Neighbouring French Guiana is an overseas department of France. Shouldn't that be the same colour as France?

In Spain a child will get Spanish nationality after one year if born in the country regardless of parents' nationality if the child has been living in the country continuously since. This is to avoid passport tourism. So, it is Jus Sanguinis but not that strict.

Interesting conflict of the two laws:

During WW2 the Dutch monarchy fled to Canada and (later*) Queen Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet in Ottawa. To prevent the princess from gaining the Canadian nationality on top of her Dutch one, the Canadian government passed a law that made the hospital room of Queen Juliana legally extraterritorial for the duration of her hospital stay.

*Added for clarity: at the time, Juliana was still crown princess as her mother Wilhelmina was queen until 1948.
