What the map shows
Each country is colored according to the color of its public mailboxes: yellow, red, blue, green, orange, gray, white or brown. A bar chart on the left summarizes the share of each color, with yellow and red dominating at 36% and 35% respectively. Below the chart, country cards (Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Germany, Angola, Austria…) show photos with their credits; some images fail to load. Countries shown in white correspond either to a white color or to a lack of information, which the legend does not clearly distinguish. The map does not specify the source of its data.
