"""Generate synthetic online pharmacy & unregistered medicines dataset for SSA.
Research-based parameterization:
- WHO: 50% of medicines purchased online from illegal sites are
falsified; growing e-pharmacy market in Africa.
- SAHPRA: Fake medicines common; painkillers, antibiotics, antimalarials,
ARVs, sexual stimulants most counterfeited online.
- SSA context: Limited regulation of online pharmacies; social media
sales; WhatsApp/Facebook marketplace; cross-border e-commerce.
