I have no idea what kind of cities might be listed in 'cities.json'.

Yes, the first image in the README is from cities.go. The data file is too big so I didn't include it in the repo, but the Makefile will fetch it.

It came from this node package

https://www.npmjs.com/package/cities.json/

It looks like the dataset has more cities in some countries than others.
