I have been kind of annoyed with VPN companies lying on their server location, but TIL I learn that some companies are actually using a specific term for that: "virtual server location", here is what ExpressVPN says:
"For less than 5% of ExpressVPN’s total throughput, the registered IP address matches the country you have chosen to connect to, while the server is physically located in another country, usually nearby. These are called virtual server locations, and they help ensure your connection is fast, secure, and reliable." https://www.expressvpn.com/support/knowledge-hub/virtual-server-locations/
