What the map shows

The map simulates statistical times from annual data. It does not report individual events actually happening now. Point counters show currently visible simulated points; the timeline records only regular points observed during the session.

Random points within a country are a display model, not actual event locations or regional consumption hotspots. Earthquakes retain their historical USGS epicentres. Start examples are labelled and excluded from counts. Background gaps are not replayed.

Original years, national definitions and recording boundaries differ. Tables are alphabetical and do not provide a reliable country ranking. With mixed source years, the breakdown of death points is a display model, not an exact balance of causes. Point quantities and fade durations do not change annual values.

  New register entries for private limited liability companies or equivalent national legal forms; not all start-ups, sole traders or informal businesses. Registration does not confirm the start of economic activity. One point represents a registration, not a real location or time. Original values for calendar year 2024. Statistical simulation, not real-time reports; no derivation from density, population or growth rates. Known partial registers and unconfirmed national coverage remain unknown. City, province or regional totals are not distributed across countries. Offshore financial centres under World Bank methodology (Annex 2, 2025) are excluded; registrations may include shell companies without local economic activity. The displayed sum covers only documented included economies and is not a complete world figure.
