Publications

Everything the Journal publishes, and the standing instruments of other publishers a planner should know. Every publication of the Journal carries a citation line and a review date.

Instruments

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

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. Each residency or citizenship programme is judged through those objectives, never on price and stay-days alone.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

JP Influence Zones

Thirty economic zones and the three poles that pull on them: who commands, who trades, and where the ground is contested.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 2.1 · July 2026

JP Risk Index

173 countries scored on four questions: could this place slide into violence, economic collapse, political closure, or demographic decline? Searchable and sortable, with each country opening into its own scores.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

JP Chokepoints

The narrows that carry the world's seaborne trade and most of its oil, mapped and explained: the flows, the treaties and navies that govern each, and the way around.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

JP Custody Map

Where the world's wealth legally sits and who can freeze it: a ledger of every major asset freeze, the rails that hold and move money, and the exposure gradient.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

JP Natural Resources

The materials of the modern economy: who digs them and who refines them. Mining is spread across many countries; refining is where the monopolies sit.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

JP Cable Map

The undersea cables that carry the world's data: seven corridors where they cluster, and a ledger of the recent cuts, with each cause labelled confirmed, disputed, or natural.

Standing instrument · Interactive · Version 1.0 · July 2026

JP Self-Sufficiency

Which of 175 countries could feed and power themselves if trade were cut, and the few large economies that are sufficient in both.

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.

Dossier No. 1, The Fiscal Siege: Brazil (English edition of O Cerco Fiscal) · country-by-country maps of the laws that reach families, beginning with Brazil · briefings on bills and windows in motion · Principles No. 3, The Sovereign Company.

Instruments from other publishers

Standing instruments a planner reads beside the Journal's own. The Journal cites them where it draws on them, and reads each with its publisher in mind.
