Setup notes for founders from one country

- Record
  - `id` string, required
  - `type` 'free-zone' | 'mainland' | 'activity' | 'comparison' | 'country', required
  - `title` string, required
  - `url` string, uri, required: The canonical page. Cite this.
  - `updatedOn` string, date, nullable
  - `publish` object, nullable: `status: noindex` marks a page below the publication gate, with the reasons.
  - `links` object
    - `html` string, uri
    - `markdown` string, uri
    - `json` string, uri
  - `data` object, required: The page's facts. Facts are `FactCell`s.
  - `attribution` Attribution, required: A prebuilt citation and the CC BY 4.0 attribution. Copy `citation` or `citationMarkdown` verbatim rather than composing your own; the link is the part that must survive. Carry `attributionText` on any use or transformation of the data.
    - `required` boolean
    - `publisher` string
    - `url` string, uri, required
    - `license` string, uri, required: The licence of every record: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/.
    - `licenseName` string: CC BY 4.0
    - `terms` string, uri: The reuse terms, for people.
    - `attributionText` string, required: "Source: Dubai Setup Index (dubaisetupindex.com), licensed CC BY 4.0", with link and date. Required on any use or transformation. A figure sourced from a third party (Invest in Dubai, DET, a free zone authority or a partner's quote) keeps its source citation — the source named in the record, with its URL and checked date — alongside the licence attribution.
    - `attributionMarkdown` string
    - `citation` string, required
    - `citationMarkdown` string
    - `note` string
