npub1qu56p82wp0ucpu7jkwcvvtfdc7wcmuqkdrqvzpkwl78rdkkckucqswqel2 (npub1qu5…qel2) I think that this is why Americans have this impression: nobody ever *does* this. Our media constantly makes up fake eastern European countries, and fake US *cities*, but I've never seen a fake US state. Like… Metropolis is in Delaware (or maybe New York, or… the… coastal region… of Kansas?). Gotham is in New Jersey.
Oddly it seems like all our fictional countries are stand-ins for Lithuania., Nepal, or Honduras. I've never seen a fake Nordic country or a double for New Zealand.
