The field isn't located at the north or south pole - you're not 400km away from it, you're immersed inside the field, and your compass is showing the local alignment of that field.

Just about anything with an EM field of its own will be stronger than that.

I think it'll be like 10 people will show up, and they'll wave placards and then scurry away when threatened with arrest

They only exist because people use them.

He has an even more obvious tell, which is that he's lying whenever his lips are moving.
