0,0 gets prosecuted.amplification.showings.  One could read a bit of

It turns out the have a bunch of combos for the poles.  They go off of
the flat map that is Google Maps (or similar), meaning there are just
as many squares around the poles as around the equator.  You can even
scroll right off the map, above the North Pole, and they still have
word combos - for places that don't exist.
