Flagzy Country Shape Quiz — outline credits, version 2 (2026-09-06)

191 countries: adapted from SimpleMaps / Pareto Software, LLC SVG maps.

187 use the individual-country SVG library (copyright 2024 Pareto Software).
License: https://simplemaps.com/resources/svg-license
The license permits personal and commercial website/software use. It prohibits
redistributing an unchanged standalone map collection without permission.
Flagzy adapts the paths into educational game clues, removing labels and markers,
normalizing the viewBox, styling silhouettes and creating landmass detail views.
These assets are not offered as a standalone map library under Flagzy's license.
Australia, Brazil, Canada and the United States use the MIT-licensed world SVG:

Geographic sources are projected north up, with a longitude cut in the largest
empty gap and cosine latitude correction. Source polygons and holes are retained.
All artwork is independently scaled, centered and rounded to 0.01 SVG pixels.
For dispersed islands, the initial clue can be a labelled largest-landmass detail
with a complete source overview. Full view retains relative island positions.
Coverage and boundary conventions follow the sources; these are educational
silhouettes, not authoritative boundary maps.

Per-country provenance is recorded in /shapes/manifest.json. Reproduce using
npm run generate:shapes and the pinned inputs in scripts/shape-sources.
Different sources retain their own licenses; no blanket license is asserted.

Version 3 additions (2026-09-07): inline quiz drawings and nearby maps.
Nearby maps derive from world-countries 5.1.0 World Borders geometry (CC BY-SA
3.0, credited above), including nearby territories where present in the source.
Fiji, Kiribati and Vatican City retain their geoBoundaries sources listed above.
Modifications: local north-up projection, date-line unwrapping, viewport clipping,
subpixel coastline simplification, solid target and dashed surrounding borders.
The underlying source licenses continue to apply to these adapted drawings.
Tiny targets receive a location ring without changing the land's geographic scale.
Reproduce inline drawings: node scripts/generate-shape-drawings.mjs.
