What's new

The whole Founding Edition in 217 pages. Each of the 203 places has its own page: the song's title, a summary of what it tells, two lines of its chorus, the capital and languages, a small map, and a code you can scan with a phone to hear the song.

Read it right on the site — it works the same on a phone — and use Jump to to go straight to any continent or place. Under each place's page, Play the song plays it while you keep reading. Or download the PDF to keep, or to print on US Letter paper. At the back: the other projects of the ecosystem, and how to support the atlas.

At the bottom of every place's page, under Share, you can send the page with your phone's own share menu, copy its link, or download an Atlas Card: a picture of the place and its song, with two lines of the chorus, a locator map and a code to listen.

Card for posts is square, for feeds. Card for stories is tall, for Stories, Reels and Status.

Cards are made from the atlas's own words and maps — nothing is AI-generated — and show no flags and never the full lyrics.

The Atlas Cards page shows the cards of all 203 places together — the square card and the tall one side by side. Find a place by name or song, or look at one continent at a time; tap a card to see it larger, and download either size.
