El Salvador - Central America
from Infoplease.com (watch for popups): "Situated on the Pacific coast of Central America, El Salvador has Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east. It is the smallest of the Central American countries, its area equal to that of Massachusetts [7,840 sq mi. (20,306 sq km)], and the only one without an Atlantic coastline. Most of the country is on a fertile volcanic plateau about 2,000 ft (607 m) high." |

Resolute
one of the world's northernmost settlements, on Canada's Devon Island, just below the southern tip of Ellesmere Island, north of Baffin Island. Resolute is Canada's second northernmost settlement, only Grise Fiord on Ellesmere Island's southern tip is further north. Alert, Eureka and Arctic Bay as well further north, but those are scientific or military posts rather than real towns. Northernmost town in the world by the way is a title claimed by three towns: Grise Fiord (Canada), Siorapaluk (Greenland) and Ny Alesund (Svalbard, Norway). According to Lonely Planet it would be Siorapaluk, in winter they have an average of -50 degrees Celsius, and no running water (they melt ice for water). I know all of this because since I first looked at the globe at the age of 5, I have had a huge fascination for the Arctic. Today, 18 years later, the fascination is still as huge as back then. My big dream in life is to travel throughout the Arctic and settle down in either Tromso, Iceland or Greenland. Though if anyone has a job and place for me in Alaska or north Finland I'd be very happy as well |

On our flight from Frankfurt to Los Angeles a month ago we flew over the arctic. It was daytime most of the time and almost no clouds. Below I could see the ocean covered with ice, and then huge glaciers in northern Greenland (and then we had to go back to our seats and fasten our seatbelts).
Back to our game: Emmental in Switzerland is where one of the world's best kinds of cheese come from. |

Neapolis
(I didn't want to repeat Nablus, which I already used in this thread 17 years ago, but actually it's the same name, meaning "new town" in greek. There are several places named Neapolis, and several ather places that used to have this greek name that transformed over the ages, such as Naples in Italy, and there are lots of places around the world named "new town" in different languages, e.g. Carthage in the punic language). |
