Line 2:
Fictional cities are often [[Captain Ersatz|obvious stand-ins]] for real-life cities. They have a different name, different landmarks and a different population, but the look, conventions and society at large are the same. This gives the setting more flavor than just calling it [[City of Adventure]]. Where names or street numbers are obscured, or not obscured at all, but accurately based on real locations, [[Real Place Background]] applies.
See also [[Hollywood Atlas]], [[Big Applesauce]] and [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]. Occasionally involves [[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]. Contrast with [[City with No Name]], [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]] and [[Canada Does Not Exist]] when the city's location is deliberately concealed or [[Negative Continuity|seems to contradict itself]].
