The places listed in the Year 2000 Foreign Gazetteer are completely fictional, as is the planet herein termed the Wurld. Here and there in the listing, readers may encounter names or descriptions which remind them of actual continents, nations, cities, landmarks, and peoples. Such instances should be regarded as purely coincidental and should not be interpreted as a comment on, or criticism of, the actual continent, nation, city, landmark, or people to which the reader's imagination has created a fanciful connection. Okay?
