## Building the maps

The map paths in the Adobe Illustrator file `src/map.ai` need to be named `path_ID` with `ID` being the [ISO country code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2). Save the map file as `map.svg` with a precision of 3 decimal places. Then you can run the script `npm run build` to automatically generate the SVG maps into the folder `maps`.

Borders between countries and territories need to be named `border_ID1|ID2` and need to be unique to two countries.
