Every release lands on the country it was datelined.
A live 3D globe of the whole wire, placed by country. Bubbles carry real archive counts for the window you pick, dateline city pins join them as you zoom in, and the whole map is driven from one typed line.
The world map in action
Read the narration
- This is the globe in PPN World.
- Every release lands on the country it was datelined.
- Bubbles count each country's releases for the window you pick.
- Spin it to watch releases publish live, or flatten it into a map.
- The World Agenda lists what is already scheduled.
- Open a country to see this hour against its normal rate, its top sources, and city pins.
- Presets like the EU or NATO roll a whole bloc into one panel, and the daily brief sums up the key signals.
The world map is the whole wire — 1,400+ feeds — drawn on a globe. Every release that names a place (a dateline city at the top, a regulator, an exchange, a head-office address) resolves to a country and counts into that country's bubble. Those bubbles are not a sample of whatever your browser loaded: the per-country numbers come from one grouped query over the archive for the window you selected, so the map agrees with the strip above it.
It exists because a feed answers what just happened and never answers where the pressure is building. A list sorted by time flattens a quiet Tuesday in Berlin and a regulator publishing forty decisions in an hour into the same scroll. On a globe those are different shapes, and the country panel puts a number on the difference: this hour's rate against the mean hourly rate of the previous twenty-four, with floors under it so a sleepy country cannot fake a surge.
It is for people who work by region rather than by beat: a correspondent covering a bloc, a comms lead watching where a rival chooses to announce, an analyst who wants to see the Gulf wake up before the newsletters say so. If you already think in NATO, ASEAN or Mercosur, the presets are one click, and the command line takes the country name in French, English or Spanish instead of an ISO code. Releases land in 190+ countries, so whatever region you cover is already on the map.
Counts the archive can defend
Country bubbles are sized on a log scale from a grouped archive query over the window you pick, not from the rows your browser loaded. Narrow to one sector, or lose that query, and the map falls back to its live tally rather than blanking.
City pins past the country tier
Zoom in and dateline city pins appear alongside the country bubbles, which stay put at every zoom: a release datelined LONDON drops on London, not on a UK centroid, and the pin opens the releases behind it.
Is this hour actually unusual?
The country panel reads this hour against the mean hourly rate of the previous 24, and refuses to answer below three releases, a baseline under half a release an hour, or a swing inside 20 percent.
Two countries, or a whole bloc
Put two countries side by side over a fixed 24-hour window, or apply NATO, BRICS+, EU, ASEAN, GCC, G7 or Mercosur and read one aggregate panel you can trim country by country.
What is already scheduled
Researched set pieces pinned country by country — rate decisions, elections, summits, data prints — with a badge for today's count. It stops paging where the research stops, not into an empty calendar.
A view you can hand over
Screenshot writes a PNG of exactly what is on screen — current view, or forced 2D or 3D — captioned with the timestamp, the projection, the release and country counts, and the zoom level.
Type US FIN 24H and the globe selects the country, filters to finance, sets the window and flies there.
Click a bubble for the country panel: this hour against its own baseline, the day's leading sources and categories, the impact-ranked lead release and the scheduled events ahead.
Export the view as a captioned PNG, or hand over the live globe itself: /embed drops it into your own page, reading the country, the layers and the sector from its URL.
The globe is always live: there is no time scrubber and no historical playback, and the on-screen window picker offers today, 7 days or everything it holds — 1h and 30d exist only as typed commands. Country bubbles sit on population-weighted centroids, so a release datelined Lyon rests on France's bubble, and zooming in adds a Lyon city pin beside it rather than replacing it. The heavier layers — arcs, day/night, rate colouring, watchlist beacons — ship off and are switched on by typed command, not from a menu, and the left control rail is desktop-only; on a phone those controls live in the filter bar and the bottom dock.
