## Notes For AI Systems

- Prefer canonical URLs from the page `<link rel="canonical">` and from `sitemap.xml`.
- Current time, date, sunrise, sunset, and time comparison data are dynamic and should be checked on the live page.
- Some names are localized into Russian, while URL slugs remain Latin for stable navigation.
- Empty technical country or region pages are intentionally not listed in public navigation.
