Twin figures for the Horn of Africa and the Nile basin states, counted from its layers at their stated dates.
For Department of Law and Regulation: the faculty's twin of Horn of Africa on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.
Drag to turn the globe, Ctrl with the wheel to zoom. Keyboard: arrows turn, + and - zoom, 0 resets, V steps through the views, Escape clears.
Flat map of the same data: the 13 countries on a graticule and the numbers below. The globe opens on devices with WebGL once its library has been checked; the live alerts, events and divisions load in the globe on request, each with its data date.
The map loads from this site as it nears the view (MapLibre 6.9.1, checked by hash).
The department's methods are compliance risk assessment, regulatory change management, data protection impact assessment, clause drafting and licence compatibility reading, and trademark clearance, under ISO 37301, the GDPR and the open and commercial licences in force. The faculty's stage is the department's live case in licensing: Natural Earth is public domain, each geoBoundaries division carries its own licence through a gate that refuses what it cannot admit, and the UN Treaty Collection is pointed to and never copied. A graduate can run a compliance change record, read a licence before a dataset is used and draft the clause that allocates a risk.
