THE IDEA BEHIND LITTLE BIG ATLAS

One world. Millions of stories to discover.

Little Big Atlas is an interactive world map game in the making. Today you can explore 196 countries through a globe, satellite-style Earth view, flat map, playful map and country list. Select a country to see its location, capital, languages and sourced facts. Explore future cities and landmarks while the next layers take shape.

What can I do now?

Browsing is free and open. Search for a country, turn the globe, zoom into the map, or compare places in the list. Claim an available country or take over an eligible member-held country at its displayed game price. Choose your avatar and review the claim before paying.

What does “claim a country” mean?

A paid first claim creates a virtual game display position associated with your chosen Atlas avatar. It does not convey land, sovereignty, a physical asset, an investment, or a right to financial returns. Read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before completing a claim.

How does payment work?

Little Big Coins (LBA) are Atlas purchase-credit units: 1 LBA offsets $1 of an Atlas claim price. They are not a blockchain token or cryptocurrency. Your available credit is applied automatically. You pay only the remainder through Stripe. If credit covers the full price, no card payment is needed. You cannot buy credit separately or withdraw, transfer or redeem it for cash.

Can I resell or take over a country?

Yes: another member can take over an eligible country at the displayed price set by the game. When that purchase completes, the country moves to their avatar and the previous holder receives Atlas purchase credit. Atlas retains 20% of the increase over the previous claim price, not 20% of the full transaction.

Example: you claim a place for $100, and another member later takes it over for $120. The increase is $20. Atlas keeps $4 (20% of $20), and you receive 116 LBA of purchase credit. Your avatar no longer holds that place. A takeover depends on another member choosing to buy; a higher displayed price does not guarantee a buyer or a return.

How do I use accumulated LBA credit?

Credit belongs to your private account and is shared across all your avatars. With 116 LBA, a $150 claim would use 116 credit and charge $34 through Stripe. A $100 claim would use 100 credit, charge nothing to your card and leave 16 LBA. You see the balance in My Atlas. This is purchase credit, not money held for withdrawal.

Offers, auctions, transfers between accounts, withdrawals and cash payouts are not available.

What are Atlas Originals?

Countries marked “Atlas Original” are held by Little Big Atlas or its founders through their avatars. They are not independent customer purchases or evidence of market demand. When Atlas is the first-claim seller, the purchase screen identifies the applicable game price before payment.

Why start with countries?

Countries make the world immediately recognizable. As the community grows, we hope to reveal more detail: capital and major cities, local landmarks, and eventually richer connections between places and people. These are plans, not live features or a guaranteed schedule.

Is Little Big Atlas a crypto or real-estate product?

No. Atlas claims are virtual game positions, not land or investments. “LBA” and “Little Big Coins” refer to Atlas purchase credit, not a cryptocurrency, blockchain token or NFT. There is no cash wallet or payout feature.

How are the country facts sourced?

The atlas identifies World Bank data where available and credits Natural Earth for map geometry and reference locations. Some place names and locations remain under review; always consult an official source for decisions that require exact current data.
