# Balanced International Research Queue

Release: `v100.0.14-handoff-provenance-repair-wip`

The 250 country and area records are organized into eight future-research waves using regional rotation and explicit small-state and territory inclusion. Wave numbers are workflow organization—not threat, importance, power, wealth, population, morality, competence, or quality scores.

The queue excludes geopolitical prominence, military power, GDP, population, English-language source abundance, media attention, perceived threat, and government alignment from prioritization.
