  33 regions from the static docs table (region name, region ID, number of zones). Launch years are joined from
  /global-locations ("Released in 2016"), fetched once per run by the parser. "Closing Down" local regions keep
  status operational with externalIds.lifecycle = closing_down. robots.txt disallows /*.json only.
