-- Module: DailyTable
-- Purpose:
--   1) Include all city descriptions for:
--      • Bassaridia Vaeringheim (major + minor)
--      • New South Jangsong (major + minor)
--      • Haifan Bassaridia (major + minor)
--      in a bracket-level comment, verbatim and unabridged.
--   2) cityOrder table sets EXACT city display order as requested.
--   3) cityData includes 20 events per city, focusing on crime, rebellion,
--      and non-weather natural phenomena (diseases, plagues, landslides,
--      infestations, etc.). All events are realistic.
--   4) Weighted random event selection so that:
--      - 80% chance: "No reports"
--      - 20% chance: pick an event (with LOW urgency most likely, CRITICAL least).
--   5) Day-based random seeding ensures the same output all day, new each day.
--   6) Do NOT omit or remove any information from previous versions.
