To be defined here:
* The total geographic target scope of the initial turn-up process at the per-country level without reference to ambiguous region/continent names (but note also temporary restrictions against rollout to certain countries necessitated by Zero in T189250).
* The process by which we're going to evaluate the state of our peering/transit to customers in the target countries before turning up service for each in our geodns config, and where/how we'll record key dates (geodns initial turnup -> done w/ post-turnup optimizations/fixups) for each country for later impact analysis by #performance-team and/or #analytics .

Reasons legend:
* **<ZERO>** in "Status" column indicates turn-up here is currently blocked by Zero, regardless of network-layer analysis]
* Atlas: Latency shown by the RIPE Atlas probes matches the distance
* Peering: Peer with Major ISP in the country (per T186835)
* Transit: Share transits with Major ISPs in the country
* Tests: Manually comparing latency and path to eqsin and 2nd clostest DC
