Economist style: drop the axis ticks, move the neutral crosshair from an arbitrary
0.5 to the human-society median on each axis, and anchor each pole signpost's arrow
to its median crosshair (blended data/axes transform) so the four directions read
against the typical society. Pole labels all horizontal.

Replace hardcoded zone lists with geometric rules that work on any map:
- maps.select_spread_zones: greedy max-coverage on hull areas -- seed the
largest zone, add whichever contributes the most new non-overlapping area.
Drops central/covered zones (Orthodox) and keeps the corner cultures.
- maps.outlying_countries: the n countries farthest from the centroid, unioned
with named landmarks + one representative (most-central member) per drawn zone
so every region has at least one identifiable label.
- draw_zone_hulls: edge-only coloured outline (no fill), contour only for 2+
member groups, label anchored to the hull's top vertex.
WVS map: four arrowed pole signposts (Traditional/Secular-Rational/Survival/
Self-expression) in a padded inner margin so they don't collide with title/ticks;
model stars use a palette disjoint from the zone colours.

Replace the blind ipsative-PCA projection with two named IW axes built from
GlobalOpinionQA WVS items (tinymfv.iw_axes): X = Survival<->Self-expression
(homosexuality, trust, political action), Y = Traditional<->Secular-Rational
(religion importance+belief, abortion, child autonomy). Each item is oriented to
its axis-positive pole by reading the option order, so a reversed row can't flip a
country. Human anchors land where the published IW map puts them (Sweden top-right,
Nigeria/Pakistan bottom-left, East Asia secular-but-survival top-left).
Models answer the same items via the answer-token reader (single-digit option labels
so the 1-10 justifiable scale stays single-token); coords are the same axis-mean.
Add maps.draw_zone_hulls: tight rounded convex hulls (not inflated disc unions),
zone-coloured dots, outlier-only labels, white-haloed region names -- the Economist
grammar. draw_zone_regions stays for the instrument maps' within-country spread.

Cache model E-vectors keyed by the exact question block, so iterating on the zone
style re-projects + re-draws without re-hitting the API (~20 min of calls). A
question a model didn't answer coherently (NaN) is imputed with the human average
at projection so one collapse doesn't drop the whole model dot.

wvs_map.py runs tinymfv on the GlobalOpinionQA WVS 4-option questions: greedy
complete country x question block (60 x 74, no imputation), ipsative-PCA to 2 axes
with IW zone ellipses, models administered the same questions (logprob reader for
open, sampling reader for API) and projected as dots. Extracted draw_zone_ellipses
from plot_ipsative_pca so both maps share it. Human map reproduces the Economist
layout: African-Islamic/South-Asia (survival) left, English-Speaking/Protestant
Europe (self-expression) right, Confucian/Latin America/Orthodox separating.
