How this country tracker works
Rise to Peace consolidates multiple reports about the same real-world event into one incident record. Event time is separated from publication time when possible, source links are retained, and reaction stories or opinion pieces are not counted as incidents. Country pages are built from the same canonical dataset used by the Live Monitor.
