Tips & Best Practices

• Country names are matched case-insensitively -- "united states", "United States", and "UNITED STATES" all work
• Countries with no data are rendered in neutral gray, making gaps easy to spot
• Use a sequential color scheme like "blues" or "greens" for quantitative comparisons
