Transform diplomatic data into interactive network maps showing alliances, tensions, and trade relationships
The tool visualizes multiple relationship types including military alliances, trade partnerships, diplomatic tensions, security agreements, and neutral relations. Each type is color-coded and can be filtered independently to analyze specific aspects of international relations.
Users can identify power clusters, isolated nations, bridge countries that connect different blocs, and potential conflict zones. The interactive features allow analysts to explore 'what-if' scenarios by adjusting relationship strengths and seeing network effects.
Yes, the system processes both bilateral connections (country-to-country) and multilateral arrangements (NATO, ASEAN, etc.) by creating alliance nodes or showing overlapping connections with special visual indicators.
The tool accepts various formats: structured lists (USA-UK: Alliance 9), JSON-style data, or narrative descriptions. Include country names, relationship types, strength values (1-10), and optional metadata like trade volumes or dates.
The physics engine automatically clusters countries with strong mutual connections, but users can also force regional groupings (Europe, Asia, Americas) or alliance-based clustering (NATO, BRICS) through the control panel.
The panel calculates centrality measures showing influential countries, identifies potential mediators in conflicts, reveals trade dependency chains, and highlights vulnerability points in alliance networks.
When temporal data is provided, the tool includes a timeline slider to show network evolution, relationship changes over time, and the formation or dissolution of alliances and trade agreements.
