Hermetic Cloud selected fields, joined regional labels, filtered and deduplicated
alternate names, and compacted the data for local browser search. This transformed
dataset contains 34,135 populated places. The dataset is not a list of every town.
Coordinates use WGS84. Time-zone identifiers describe the source's current mapping;
historical clock offsets are resolved separately for the entered birth date.
