Data · Countries

Countries in the Hub’s public evidence, and what connects them.

Use this atlas to see a country’s place in the Hub’s public evidence and the cross-border connections sources associate with it. It is not a measure of country performance or completeness.

Three country views, three different questions

  • Country evidence This page. What the Hub holds inside a country, and what connects it to others.
  • Rules and institutions Jurisdictions
  • Located mining evidence Mine sites

The sector map shows the chain. This page shows the ground it runs over: which countries the Hub reaches, how much of the sector each one carries, and which of them are tied to each other by sourcing, shipping, ownership or enforcement.

The coastlines are real. A pin marks a country, not a place inside it, and nothing on this map is a claim about where any single entry sits. Regions the Hub holds on their own, such as the Peruvian departments, carry their own pins beside their country.

How to read it

A pin is a country and everything the Hub places in it. The bigger the pin, the more the Hub holds there.

A line gathers every tie between two countries into one. The stronger it reads, the more ties it carries.

A tinted country is one the Hub holds something in. The rest are drawn so the world reads as itself.

Not on the map301

Two different gaps, kept apart because they are not the same gap. The first is what no source places in any country. The second is what the Hub does place but this map cannot yet draw.

Placed in no country

Grouped by what they are. Most are documents and cross-border instruments, which belong to no one country by nature.

Placed, but not drawn

These places hold entries and have their own pages. The map has no point for them yet, so it draws no pin rather than guess one.
