JP Atlas
One map of the world, read five ways: risk, wealth, influence, regime, and resilience, with the financial centres, chokepoints, and the shipping, pipeline, cable, and rail arteries laid over it.
Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026
JP Rankings
Fifty jurisdictions ranked three separate ways: asset protection, business flexibility, and immunity, the tests of the Vault, the Forum and the Refuge. Each residency or citizenship programme is judged through those objectives, never on price and stay-days alone.

JP Passport Index
A passport index scored for the family holding the passport rather than for the market selling it. The standing indices count the destinations a passport enters without a prior visa, which measures where a holder may land and leaves out what the issuing state can still do to them afterwards. A passport can be revoked. It can fail to pass to children born abroad, carry military service, require that every other nationality be given up, or follow its holder with a tax bill wherever in the world they live.
Four axes, scored and published separately, never combined into a single number. Mobility, weighted by the places a family travels to and banks in rather than counted flat. Retention: revocation powers, the presence a state requires to keep the document, and transmission to children born abroad. The claim the state keeps on the holder: taxation that follows citizenship, charges on renunciation, whether renunciation is permitted at all, and conscription. Protection: consular reach measured against the evacuation record in Kabul, Khartoum, and Beirut. The methodology will be published before any score is, as the Risk Index's was before it became the Success Index.
