"World" with an uppercase W always picks AS49981+Rotterdam because the ASN name (WorldStream B.V.) starts with "World."

"world" with a lowercase W works as expected, and picks a random location:

I can also replicate this using the globalping CLI (globalping ping cdn.jsdelivr.net from World vs. globalping ping cdn.jsdelivr.net from world).

I'm not sure if this is related, but I'm physically located in The Netherlands.
