Pick a company to see where it actually produces — every country in its footprint, shaded by capacity share — overlaid with the countries whose register actions name it (severity ring + action count), plus violet arcs to the chokepoint countries its material inputs depend on. The map is a lens; the dossier and register are the source of record.
Kia Corporation produces across 6 countries — 45% of mapped capacity sits in 🇰🇷 South Korea (HQ 🇰🇷 South Korea).
material exposures: neodymium · praseodymium · dysprosium · terbium · lithium · cobalt · nickel · manganese · graphite · copper · tin · tantalum
No register action names Kia Corporation yet — footprint only.
Its 12 scored input materials trace to 1 supplier country — 1 refines >70% in a single country. Top input chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China (dysprosium 99%, terbium 99%, manganese 90%, +9).Armed chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China has itself issued 22 register actions restricting the inputs it already dominates — neodymium (7), graphite (6), rare-earth-elements (6), dysprosium (5), +6 more — max severity 5/5. This share is a demonstrated lever, not just a concentration.Latest: China MOFCOM Announcement No. 27 [2026] — 20 more Japanese entities incl.

Overlap node: 🇨🇳 China sits in two of the three layers — 12% of mapped capacity · dominant world supplier of 12 scored inputs (dysprosium 99%). It hosts capacity AND controls an input feeding it — a two-sided lever.
Named counterparties: this dossier names 2 firms with a source; 2 are in this corpus with a mapped footprint, and 1 of those produces in a country already on this map (🇨🇳 China · 🇺🇸 United States · 🇰🇷 South Korea) — the named end of an exposure the country layers show anonymously.SK On Co., Ltd. (supplier, 50% of Hyundai Motor Group ownership stake in the Hyundai Motor Group-SK On battery-cell JV (Bartow County, GA; ~USD 5bn, 35 GWh/yr, ~300,000 EVs/yr) -- NOT a share of Kia cell purchases) 🇭🇺 HU ◆ · Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA (supplier) 🇨🇱 CL ◆ = produces in a country already on this map.2 other dossiers name Kia Corporation from the other side (supplier).
Reading the map: green shading = the company's production countries by capacity share, with dots at facility cities (dashed = approximate, country-level). Violet arcs = INPUT DEPENDENCIES — they run from the country that dominates world production/refining of a material the company consumes to the company's base; the % is that country's share of world supply at the named stage, NOT an import/export volume. Severity rings = countries whose register actions name the company.
