How is "top story" decided?

Can I follow updates for one country?
Yes. Every jurisdiction with recorded changes has its own updates page and RSS feed, and the weekly digest can be limited to the jurisdictions you choose.
Informational only, not legal advice. Verify every claim against the linked official sources and consult qualified counsel before acting.
