Why is the process named geod in my iOS simulator trying to access irs.gov?

I'm developing an app that has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than specific external audio-related hardware. While running my app in the iOS simulator, I got a message from my LittleSnitch (that's a firewall) that the process geod (iOS) is trying to access irs.gov. As if that wasn't enough, the next attempt was to azadiradio.org. I blocked both but I'm wondering: what is going on within my iOS simulator?
