Real Place Names

Postby Flying Eagles » Tue Jul 21, 2020 12:59 pm

Do we generally avoid the use of real place names to avoid slandering those places? If so, Issue 653 likely needs to remove the reference of a terrorist group from Tasmania, which is an Australian state.

In modern issues, yes we avoid real place names. Tasmania, however, originally appeared in #29, a Max Barry issue. It's been part of the game since the very beginning.

Worth noting is that the NationStates Tasmania does not much resemble the real-life Tasmania.
