      The article you link to concerns itself only with jus sanguinis, which applies to the United States because a child born to an American parent is automatically American (with exceptions of course). So jus sanguinis applies to the US.

      Jus soli also applies to the US by virtue of the 14th amendment.

      Two things can be true at the same time.

      OP’s map really is a automatic-jus-soli vs no-automatic-jus-soli map.

        To make things more complicated some jus sanguinis countries also have a limited form of jus solis - for example, children of permanent residents in the country might get nationality even if their parents don’t have it.
