I live in a country which is mainly cold forests. Since there is not much to do there most people live much farther south next to another country they are always complaining about. People eat bacon, drink coffee and watch men on ice chase a rubber toy while wearing masks. My specific town is surrounded by bigger cities, but too far away from them to easily drive there every day. There are a lot of trees and tattoo parlours. In my neighbourhood, a lot of people pay money to watch classes on their computers. They wear masks too. ---

I live in a big country that is mostly empty of human beings. But even in the middle of nowhere, you will be eaten alive by flies. Also, the wildlife, whilst mostly cute, are all out to kill you. Also, Rupert Murdoch was spawned here. Where I live, despite being hot enough to swim all year 'round, precludes being able to actually swim. Tiny critters will sting you, and the big ones will chomp down on you as an entree. Our government is trying to emulate the Repubs in the US. Also, Rupert Murdoch… ---

I currently live in an area that has a frequent identity crisis and changes owners every few decades / centuries. This rebranding can be a pain, especially when the population has to shift. Unlike the situation in a large and distinctly unfriendly neighbor to the east, vodka is not the national sport, but still comes pretty close. Local weddings cater on the basis of one bottle of vodka per person, regardless of age. I have never ever seen any leftovers. ---

I live in a city chock full of assorted crazies and weirdos. There’s a documentary about it floating around out there somewhere, hosted by some comedian and a rock star. ---

I live in a company town, that’s bordered on two sides by Native American Pueblos, and the other two by National Forest. In town, we have highly radioactive sources, wildly-nasty corrosives, and high explosives. Two major wildfires have swept through the area over the last 20 years, and the housing supply sucks due to shortages and overpricing. We are in an earthquake zone\*, and the whole town site is situated within 10 miles of the caldera of a supervolcano. (\* Note) Had a 3.7 earlier this spring. Tripler I fear giant, fire-breathing, radioactive lizards. ---
