Atlas v0.1 · dataset 2026-07-05
The Atlas
Right to information · Right to service · 250 countries and territories · 5,046 subdivisions
A law on the books is not a record in your hand. This atlas maps, for every country and subdivision, which access law applies, what it promises, and what a citizen still has to confirm at the counter. Every entry carries its source, its date, and its honest status.
One rule governs every page: an unverified value never displays as a fact. It displays as a task. Today that means: 142 of 250 national right-to-information laws are rated and sourced; 38 of 250 service-rights routes are verified at least in part; 120 of 5,046 subdivision entries carry a cited law. The rest of the map is work, shown as work. Help close it: every page tells you what to confirm and how to send it in, and every submission is reviewed before anything changes here.
This atlas and the Capture Index never mix
The atlas is the open reference layer: every jurisdiction, graded, with unverified entries shown as tasks. The Capture Index is a separate scored product: verified sources only, with right of reply before publication.
