Field notes
The project organizes its geography coverage around chokepoints, enclaves, divided islands, narrow corridors, and infrastructure whose physical dimensions create outsized effects. Its homepage names both global examples—Suez, Hormuz, Malacca, and Bab el-Mandeb—and Italian subjects such as the Strait of Messina and MOSE. The free dossier is described as containing 25 maps, while a premium PDF and public table are presented separately.
