Country Intelligence Cards
Open and interpret the country-level dossier in the Situation Room
Country Intelligence Cards combine the map's currently loaded signals with country-coded feeds, regional instability data, prediction markets, market indices, and curated infrastructure. They are available with the Situation Room on Lite, Pro, and Elite plans.
Open a country card
Open the Situation Room
Go to OSINT → Monitor and wait for the map to load.
Choose the signal context
Enable the event layers you want to analyze and set the map time range. Those choices affect the signals passed into the card.
Select a country
Click or tap a country boundary. Y2 opens its card as a modal over the map.
Close or export
Select Close, click the backdrop, or press Escape to close the card. Select the download
icon to save the currently assembled dossier as a UTF-8 text file.
Detailed coverage currently uses 24 curated profiles
Full centroid, baseline, infrastructure, market, and brief behavior is configured for the United States, Russia, China, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Taiwan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, India, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea. Other map boundaries can be selected, but their card may contain only a header and empty or zero-value sections.
How the card assembles data
The card does not perform polygon containment for its event widgets. It takes the events already loaded for the map and keeps events whose coordinates are within 800 km of the curated country centroid. Events near a border can therefore appear in more than one card, while events in a large country's outer regions can fall outside the radius.
The map query is capped and follows your enabled layers and selected time range. Active Signals, the timeline, and the AI brief input describe that loaded subset—not an exhaustive national event archive.
Read the instability section
The ring is an equal-weight average of four 0–100 components:
| Component | What the card labels |
|---|---|
| Civil unrest | Political and social instability baseline |
| Conflict | Armed-conflict baseline |
| Security | Security-risk baseline |
| Information | Information-environment baseline |
For a profile mapped to a CII region, Y2 scales each static baseline component by the current regional CII delta. It then averages the four adjusted components and rounds the result.
| Ring value | Ring color |
|---|---|
| 0–34 | Green |
| 35–64 | Amber |
| 65–100 | Red |
The status badge and ring use related but different inputs
When regional CII exists, the NORMAL, ELEVATED, or CRITICAL badge uses the region's raw CII
value. The ring uses the profile baseline adjusted by the region's CII delta. Profiles without a
mapped region use their configured default status and unadjusted baseline. The badge and ring
color can therefore differ.
Interpret signals and the timeline
Active Signals counts every event in the 800 km loaded subset and groups the results by event category. It does not add a separate severity breakdown.
The 7-Day Timeline further limits that subset to events from the last seven days and maps these categories into four lanes:
| Lane | Included event categories |
|---|---|
| Protest | political |
| Conflict | conflict |
| Natural | seismic, weather, fire |
| Military | maritime, aviation |
Categories such as economic, health, and cyber can appear in Active Signals but not in a timeline lane. If the map time range is set to 24 hours, the “7-Day” timeline can only show the 24-hour subset it received.
Read the intelligence brief
When no unexpired brief exists for the country, the card schedules an AI-generated brief. The generation context contains:
- country name and two-letter code;
- the regional CII value, when available;
- the count of currently loaded events within 800 km;
- the first 10 titles from that same event subset.
The model is instructed to produce five sections in 300–400 words: current situation, military and security posture, key risk factors, regional context, and outlook. It must acknowledge low activity instead of inventing threats.
Briefs expire after two hours. Y2 records a context hash based on 10-point CII buckets and five-event count buckets, but the card reads the newest unexpired brief for the country. A changed map selection does not force a refresh while that brief remains valid.
Treat the brief as synthesis, not source evidence
The brief is generated from a small, bounded context. Validate important conclusions against the linked source records before acting on them.
Country-coded feeds
These widgets use the curated profile's ISO alpha-2 code instead of the 800 km radius:
Latest signals
The card shows up to eight recent stored records tagged to the country from RSS, GDELT-compatible, ACLED-compatible, URLhaus, and Feodo source types. Because threat-intelligence rows are eligible, this section can contain more than conventional news headlines. Select a row to open its source URL when one is available.
Prediction markets
The card selects up to five unexpired Polymarket or Kalshi contracts whose derived country tags include the selected code. Results are sorted by trading volume and show probability, volume, optional liquidity and end date, and the provider link. A missing section means that no current matching contract was found.
Stock index
For 45 configured countries, the card requests a primary national index from Yahoo Finance when no valid cache row exists. It displays the index name and percentage change between the latest close and the close five trading observations earlier. Results expire after one hour. Unsupported codes or provider failures leave the chip hidden.
Infrastructure exposure
The card lists the three nearest records in each curated registry:
- military bases;
- nuclear facilities;
- strategic ports and chokepoints.
Distance is the great-circle distance from the country's configured centroid. The assets are not filtered by political boundary, affiliation, or active map layers. “Exposure” therefore means nearby reference context, not confirmed ownership or presence inside the selected country.
Download the dossier
The download icon creates a file named
y2-intel-{iso3}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.txt. It includes the status, ring and component values, active-signal
counts, and any stock, brief, latest-signal, market, and infrastructure data already available when
you select download.
The export is a point-in-time client-side text snapshot. The current card does not provide a separate PDF or print command.
