Atlas Decoded

The map you learned in school shows borders and capitals. It doesn't show which countries calling themselves democracies have almost no free press, or which languages crossed oceans with colonisers.

Atlas Decoded puts those hidden layers in your hands.

Spin the globe. Toggle a layer - political systems, press freedom, language families, religion, economic models. Watch the map recolour. Tap any country to see where it actually stands. Add a second layer and watch the correlations appear.

Explore freely. Switch to Quiz to test what you've noticed — including language and culture challenges that show how differently the world names itself. Use Compare to put two countries side by side.

Then make it personal. Mark countries you've visited, record landmarks you've seen, build a wish list of places still waiting. Overlay your personal atlas on any data layer.

Every layer comes with context: what it measures, how, and where the data comes from. Educators can create and share custom layers with a text editor or an AI prompt.
