Nordic parliaments lead on women’s representation

Quota and party policies show up in seat shares.

Policy grids compress billions of people into equal squares — the shock is in the share, not the cell. This grid divides global parliamentary seats (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — Nordic countries (avg), Asia & Pacific, and 2 more groups — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.
