notes: >
  57 regions (42 open, 15 announced) with city/state label, geography, AZ availability flag, launch year and
  Microsoft's own region-level marker (used only as an "approximate" fallback when the location is a state).
  Curated city coordinates otherwise. Companion geographies.json only carries continent markers (not used).
