Map data and boundary policy

Basemap: Natural Earth 4.1.0 land polygons (world-atlas@2.0.2), Public domain (Natural Earth terms of use). Land polygons only. No political boundaries are drawn by the basemap. Case boundaries appear only from approved, sourced geometry records, each labelled with its layer type, dates and provenance. Map policy.
