ludickid, in an ongoing attempt to prove he is the geekiest one there is has produced an analysis of fictional DC towns, and a breakdown of the NHL, NFL, NFA, MLB and MLS teams in each of them. Amusingly enough, this is the sort of stuff that I'd normally check up on in my copy of the DCU Atlas (God bless the people at Mayfair, they did good work). I think they actually had a breakdown of sports teams.
In further observation, Marvel had mostly real real estate, yah? The only fake I can remember is Latveria. And that country Sabra's from*.
*Oh, Snap!

Now, what does that say about that Senator or whomever it was saying Canuckia was a breeding ground for terrorists? (OTher than the fact that he's a complete jackass...)
I mean... is he part of THEM? Is he THEY? US? Or SOMEONE ELSE?

Date: 2006-07-11 10:47 pm (UTC)I hardly think that Wakanda (whose ruler, T'challa, is one of my fave underutilised/mishandled Marvel characters, up there with Ka-Zar and Sandman) is the only one we neglected - since our thread mostly focused on fictional places in the North Pole area, and obviously went well beyond the provinces of just the Marvel Universe.
