Where on Earth is this?

I have been playing Scrabble with Death again.
I placed my first tile just left of the centre star, with a vowel
over it and with three more beside it. The fourth letter was valued
at 5.
ISN'T THAT A BIT RUDE?
“No, it's the third derivative of position.”
FAIR ENOUGH.
Death played four tiles vertically down from the final letter
of the previous word.
“Isn't that a proper noun?”
IT'S ALSO A KIND OF WEAPONIZED STICK.
“Of course, no worries mate.”
I play a single consonant, valued at 2, scoring 3 in total.
“Latinized from the original German.”
SO I'D HEARD.
“Was that a twinkle in your socket then?”
No comment. Death studied his tiles.
I'VE HEARD YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING A
HAND THAT LOOKS LIKE A POLISH SURNAME BUT I'VE ACTUALLY GOT THE
SURNAME OF THE MOST FAMOUS — Death breaks off to consult
an hourglass, he pauses, shakes it and peers very intently
— YES, THE MOST FAMOUS LIVING
POLE.
Play Death's next move (in Scrabble). Standard Scrabble
rules apply. I'll award a point to the best, or equal best, score.

blessed; financial maltreatment; retired; spontaneous, spurious
or nocturnal; and based upon observation.
Can you see anybody who thinks he's better than the rest of us?
