Map Studio.

Shade a world map by country, then drill into any country to map its regions. Paste a table of values, copy the SVG or export a PNG — all in the Foundation house style.

Data
Global: match by country name or ISO code (alpha-2, alpha-3 or numeric). Regional: match by the region names listed once a country is loaded.
Labels and format
Colour and legend
Scheme
Sequential ramps from light to the chosen colour. Diverging runs low colour → neutral → high colour around the midpoint (defaults to the data's middle). No-data areas are light grey. Smooth gradient replaces the discrete colour steps with a continuous ramp.

How it works

Notes, sources and conventions

What this produces

A single self-contained SVG choropleth — a world map shaded by country, or one country shaded by its first-level regions. Copy the SVG into a page or report, or export a PNG for Office. It carries an explicit viewBox and pixel size, so it scales cleanly and drops into fixed layouts.

Two levels

Global shades each country by the value you paste. Country (regions) loads that country's first-level administrative areas (ADM1 — states, provinces, regions) and shades those. Switch levels with the control, pick a country from the list, or simply click a country on the world map to drill in.

Matching your data

You paste two columns — a name and a number. In global view, names are matched to countries by a normalised name or an ISO 3166 code (alpha-2, alpha-3 or numeric), with common variants handled (UK, USA, South Korea, Czechia, and so on). In regional view, names are matched to the loaded region names, which are listed for you to copy exactly. Anything that doesn't match is flagged rather than silently dropped.

Boundaries and attribution

Country outlines come from world-atlas (opens in new tab) (Natural Earth, public domain). Sub-national boundaries are fetched on demand from geoBoundaries (opens in new tab) (gbOpen, CC BY 4.0) — please credit geoBoundaries when you publish a regional map. Only the boundary files are fetched; the values you paste never leave your browser.

Caveats

Region names and divisions in geoBoundaries may not match how the World Risk Poll aggregates regions; check the listed region names and relabel your data to suit. This is a layout tool, not a statistics package — it plots exactly what you type. Replace the illustrative sample with verified values and a proper source line before publishing.
