Pressure index: Normal (+0.8) — driven by internal tension
Easing ≤ −0.5 · Normal to +1.6 · Rising to +1.8 · Surging above — the 30-day pressure read against the country's own history.
Level = risk-flavoured articles in the country's own press over the last 30 days — what its outlets reported, wherever the story happened — against the country's own baseline (mean of the previous three 30-day windows). Quiet 0 · Low up to the baseline · Elevated up to twice the baseline · High above. Counts, not severities: a press signal, not a rating. Every row links to the articles counted. Titles shown translated are model translations; the others appear in their original language — each link opens the original article. Method →
