Context, not targeting. A system record names published markers and published operators and states dependencies at the level a published institution does. It carries no facility-level capacity, vulnerability, protection or repair detail; the schema has no field for any of it.

Nodes

The published markers that carry this system value, by the module’s own priority. A note is the system record’s; a marker without one is a member by its own tag.

Routes and operators

Supply systems running through it

  • Armenian external access — two borders open, two closedGeneral trade · 10 nodes · 6 documented disruptions · joined by its nodesA landlocked country whose shortest routes to the world have been shut for thirty years, and what that does to everything else.
  • The Middle Corridor — east–west trade transitGeneral trade · 8 nodes · 3 documented disruptions · joined by its nodesThe overland route between China and Europe that avoids both Russia and Iran, and which works in the places where it has actually been built.
  • Caspian energy export — the westward pipeline systemFuel imports · 5 nodes · 3 documented disruptions · joined by its nodesThe reason this small region has the attention of capitals that could not otherwise place it: oil and gas going west without crossing Russia or Iran.
  • TRIPP — the proposed Syunik transit routeGeneral trade · 5 nodes · 4 documented disruptions · joined by its nodesFourteen months of instruments, one ratification, one season of surveys, and not a metre of road.
