Domains

A domain is a geographic bounding box identified by an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. Each domain constrains the coordinate space, giving better resolution per code character than a global system.

Domain Resolution

The resolution depends on the domain's geographic extent. Smaller countries get finer resolution at the same code length:

# 5-character codes (p=12)
yoro.resolution(12, "CI")  #  ~173 m (small country)
yoro.resolution(12, "NG")  #  ~369 m (larger country)
yoro.resolution(12, "XX")  # ~5533 m (whole globe)

Auto-Detection

Use domain_for_country() to map any ISO country code to its domain, with fallback to XX:

yoro.domain_for_country("CI")    # "CI"
yoro.domain_for_country("JP")    # "XX" (no specific domain, uses global)
yoro.domain_for_country(None)    # "CI" (default)
