When data-country-code is omitted: Apple currently infers the country code based on the user/request location and renders the corresponding worldview. The result can vary by viewer. data-country-code is functional but remains undocumented. Apple’s documented script-attribute loading pattern is described in Loading the latest version of MapKit JS.
