While the actress has some notoriety, huge part of the international trade relies on short term work visa. When Airbus builds a new factory in the US, or That a US factory chooses German industrial robots, you need to send people on short-term work visa to kickstart it.
Sure maps and miniatures are fun but some systems don’t need them, some players are perfectly fine with the theatre of the mind play, or some small toys on a self drawn grid on sheet paper can work.
Some big streamers have done massive damage to she hobby by bringing the image that map and miniatures are necessary, and not at best a nice to have, at worst a distraction.

It’s surprising that it’s not standard in any country and that it’s not managed at the municipal level.
Where do I evacuate in case of natural disaster? Is there a dangerous factory which may explode/ release toxic products nearby? How high is the flood risk? What about forest fire
