RTLDI Atlas of UN Member States v2026.8 — Redesigned Web and PDF

Highlights

This release refreshes the RTLDI Atlas presentation across print, HTML, and the interactive map.

Print atlas redesign

• Reworked the PDF visual system with a cleaner cover, stronger page hierarchy, metric cards, refined section labels, and improved headers/footers.
• Improved regional summary pages with clearer metric bands, better map/text balance, capital-exclusion sorting, and scannable lever bars.
• Refined nation profile pages and fixed country map aspect ratios so national maps render cleanly.
• Regenerated the full 237-page RTLDI_ATLAS_2026_ebook.pdf and all modular PDF parts.

HTML atlas refinement

• Rebuilt the HTML atlas into a cleaner light analytical interface.
• Improved global metrics, lever breakdowns, regional summary blocks, member tables, and controls.
• Removed stale dark-theme logic and made the web atlas more consistent with the redesigned print edition.

Interactive map explorer

• Upgraded the global interactive map from hover-only exploration to click-driven national detail.
• Clicking a country now loads national data below the map: R score, region, data vintages, capital exclusions, per-capita exclusions, G0, population, nine-lever status, raw values, thresholds, and regional comparisons.
• Added robust static-export fallback so local Kaleido failures no longer block interactive HTML generation.

GitHub Pages landing

• Added a root index.html that opens the generated HTML atlas directly.
• Added .nojekyll so GitHub Pages serves the static atlas assets as-is.
• Documented the Pages setup in the README.

Assets

• RTLDI_ATLAS_2026_ebook.pdf: full redesigned print atlas.
• rtldi-html-atlas-v2026.8.zip: static HTML atlas bundle, including the landing redirect, atlas UI, maps, data JSON, and interactive global explorer.

Notes

GitHub Pages should be configured to serve from the repository root so the root landing page redirects into outputs/html-atlas/index.html.
