Claim:
1. A method for obtaining country travel risk management information from a displayed map in a travel risk management system, the method comprising: storing, by processing circuitry, for each of a plurality of countries, an assignment in a geographic grouping of countries such that the plurality of countries is divided into a plurality of subsets of countries, the countries assigned to each subset of countries sharing a geographic boundary with at least one other country of the respective subset to define a contiguous geographic area; determining, by the processing circuitry, for each of the plurality of countries, a risk level value indicating a level of risk to the safety or wellbeing of persons traveling to the respective country; determining, by the processing circuitry, for each of the plurality of countries, a risk trend indicator, wherein the risk trend indicator indicates whether the risk level value for the respective country is forecast to increase, remain neutral, or decrease, and causing display of, by the processing circuitry via a network, detecting, by the processing circuitry via the network, a position of a cursor rendered on the display device; determining, by the processing circuitry, the position of the cursor is within the boundaries of a particular country of the plurality of countries on the world map; identifying, by the processing circuitry, the respective geographic grouping of the particular country; in response to determining the position of the cursor is within the boundaries of the particular country, causing display of, by the processing circuitry via the network, on the display device, an updated view of the world map, wherein, within the updated view, the subset of the plurality of countries having the same respective geographic grouping are displayed with a geographic group indicator corresponding to the respective geographic grouping; detecting, by the processing circuitry via the network, actuation of an input device of the computing device when the cursor is disposed within the boundaries of the particular country; and causing display of, by the processing circuitry via the network, on the display device in response to detecting the actuation of the input device, an enlarged geographic group map including only the subset of the countries having the same respective geographic grouping as the particular country and the risk trend indicator of the particular country.
