The Iswi-Linc Regional Activity Map divides Earth's land surface into a mesh of overlapping circular regions, each 270.0 km in radius, expanding outward from Cape Town, South Africa. The Cape Town Origin region sits at generation 0, approximately 0 km from the origin.

Each region is a node in ISWI's decentralised civic network. Online users, verification nodes (Iswi-linc), and scheduled governance events including town halls, conferences, and in-person gatherings are tracked per region in real time.

ISWI is built by Iswi NPC, a 100% Black-owned technology company based in Cape Town. The platform focuses on transparent, geographically anchored civic participation.
