35 of 35 recorded host cities are mapped across 16 countries, drawn as 35 dots. Every city, state and country comes from the organizer's own announcement, checked against a public gazetteer before it may render; 10 editions have no published host city yet, so their country is shaded with no dot. Hover a dot, or tab to it, for its series; clicking opens that series, or, where several share a city, that country's row in the list below.
