fourteen-eyes

Check whether a country belongs to the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances. Useful when you are reasoning about the jurisdiction of a VPN, email or hosting provider. Zero dependencies.

const eyes = require('fourteen-eyes');

eyes('US');        // { code:'US', fiveEyes:true,  nineEyes:true,  fourteenEyes:true,  alliance:'Five Eyes' }
eyes('Germany');   // { code:'DE', fiveEyes:false, nineEyes:false, fourteenEyes:true,  alliance:'Fourteen Eyes' }
eyes('Switzerland')// { code:null, ..., alliance:null }  // outside the alliances

eyes.FIVE_EYES;    // ['AU','CA','NZ','GB','US']

Accepts an ISO alpha-2 code ("DE") or a country name ("Germany", "UK", "USA").

Membership

• Five Eyes: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States.
• Nine Eyes: Five Eyes + Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway.

Honest caveat: these alliances are a matter of public reporting, not a formal public register, and arrangements evolve. Treat the result as guidance for privacy reasoning, not legal advice.
