Considerations
- Leveraging a map animation
- Rate limits
- Make the location human readable

This can be explored in the Experimental build #271. Some testing tips:
- Fresh install, ensure primary app language is EN, device country code is US. Ensure you are logged in.
- On Explore feed, background, foreground, then pull to refresh Explore. This should hopefully force a fetch of the config. If you go to profile you should see a year in review option.
- Go to Places tab and visit some articles to build up a history of location-based articles.
- Go to Settings > Year in Review, toggle off and back on to regenerate the report.
- Go to year in review from profile, you should see the location slide.
This work is done in the yir-2025-explorations branch.

I am grabbing an average coordinate of the area with the most map view clusters, and sending that in to reverse geocode and get a country or ocean. I feel like these articles may not necessarily be about this country or ocean, so we should be mindful of wording on this slide. For now I'm phrasing it as "You read the most articles in the {country or ocean} area", but I don't love that.
