Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive world map where visitors buy permanent coordinate pins, represent a country, and compete on stake-based leaderboards.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The homepage combines a coordinate map with a country-scoring system: visitors choose a plot, attach a flag, and stake money toward leaderboard position. It reports 5,563 listings but only two planted plots, worth $20 in Chad and $15 in San Francisco, while 237 of 239 countries remain unclaimed. Rankings can be viewed by total stake, plant count, or recent rise, and a command palette provides an alternate navigation layer.
