Maps and flags
A map answers where. WerkOS draws its maps on one projection, without labels or water, and keeps flags off the map and beside country names instead.
One projection

Maps use the Equal Earth projection, which keeps each country's area true to scale, so a large fill does not exaggerate a small market. The frame runs from 84 degrees north to 56 degrees south and leaves Antarctica out.
The page itself is the sea. Countries are filled, borders are a thin line in the page color, and a faint grid of meridians and parallels every 30 degrees gives the eye its bearings.

Three kinds of map
A choropleth colors each country by one score in five steps. A bubble map sizes a circle by volume and names the largest eight. A corridor map draws the flow from one country to another as a ribbon, colored by origin.
Nepal to Poland is the largest of the eight corridors, with 2,600 work permits issued

No data and not in scope
A country without data and a country outside the question are different facts, so each has its own fill and its own legend entry. No data is a mid gray with a dotted edge. Not in scope is paler and carries fine horizontal lines.
A score that rests on thin evidence keeps the fill of its step and adds a fine dot grid, with Partial evidence in the key.
- No data
- mid gray with a dotted outline, per theme
- Not in scope
- pale gray with horizontal lines, per theme
- Partial evidence
- the step's own fill with a fine dot grid
- Steps
- five steps with fixed breaks

The table beside the map
A map cannot be read aloud, and small countries hide in it. Each map comes with its data as a table, grouped by the steps of the key. Where a value carries a range, the range shares its cell.
Maps stay still: no zoom, no pan, no recentering. Hovering or focusing a country shows its name and value, and the arrow keys move through the countries in the order of the table.
Flags beside names
In a table, a ranked bar or a list, a country's round flag sits before its name, at a size set by where it appears. Screen readers skip the flag because the name that follows says it.
Flags stay off maps, legends and status labels.
- In a board cell

The name and the flag read as one.
Not permitted
Label countries on the map
Names belong in the table and the tooltip.
Put a flag on a map or in a legend
A flag names a country; it does not key a color.
Show a rank as a fill or a bubble size
A rank is a position. Show it in a list.
