Country maps · new in v0.3.0
54 African countries, in the same line.
Outline maps drawn in the library’s 1.5-stroke language. Each keeps its real proportions, paints with currentColor and ships as its own SVG — a second asset type alongside the icons.
AIL follows a documented cartographic treatment for disputed territories. Boundary representations do not imply endorsement of territorial claims.

The system
A smaller, stronger system.
V2 rebuilds the library around a consistent 24-pixel icon system rather than treating every older asset as automatically release-ready. The regular weight is the released baseline.
