How to read it. A country leads with a theme when that theme is the main headline of at least one of the country's reference newspapers, or of a third or more of its verified front pages. Secondary highlights only count in the “Where they talk about…” view. Beige: the country leads with its own story, summed up in the label.
The short labels are written by a language model from the headline and summary of the reference front page, and checked like the rest of the edition. Themes and quotes come from the edition's radar, confirmed against each front page's text. Borders: Natural Earth, via Visionscarto World Atlas, with Crimea as part of Ukraine.
