How to read it. Pick a lens — People, Money or Power — then a measure, and the map colours every country by it. Overlays add the physical things that matter: chokepoints, large ports, mineral facilities, energy infrastructure, nuclear plants and published military bases. Tap any country for everything in one place.
Conflicts. Red marks an armed conflict with fighting recorded in 2026, placed where that fighting is concentrated; a hollow ring marks one that was active in 2024 but has no recorded fighting this year. To appear, a conflict must have met UCDP's threshold of 25 battle deaths in 2024, or have at least 10 recorded clashes in 2026. Blue frozen disputes and diamond pressure points are curated by Terrestrial Atlas and marked as such. No casualty figures, front lines or judgements about who is right.
History. Eleven snapshots from 1500 to 1994 show who ruled which land, with today's borders drawn over the top. "Who ruled most of this land" in a country profile means whoever controlled the largest share of that country's present-day territory in that year. Historical borders are approximate and simplified, and the underlying dataset is community-built; a few known errors have been corrected by hand.
Bases are marked early: only bases their host or operating government publishes are shown, and the list is short.
