Creator Provincialism	comment	Because most authors write about what they know, creators of fictional works tend to set stories in their home city/province/country, making for well-developed, colorful settings. Even when the actual place names are disguised, they can still be identified as the author's home territory. However, sometimes this happens even in contexts where such settings seem unlikely. In this case, lack of imagination or assuming one's audience is unreceptive to anything remotely foreign may play a role. Of course, this is often a case of global realism being sacrificed for local realism. It might seem unlikely for one place to be the focus of so much activity, but setting it in a place the author is familiar with can help to make the setting appear more full-bodied and believable. It can mean the difference between a realistic environment and The Theme Park Version. Sometimes, one country actually is more significant than most other countries in certain contexts, but highly provincial writers and viewers may simply assume their country has contributed more than any other in every way, for example, believing that the West-European front was more important than the East-European front in World War II despite only involving 10â€“25% of the latter's troops and 10% of its deaths, etc., etc. The Throw-Away Country trope is what happens when such writers absolutely have to mention another country. Please note that Tropes Are Not Bad if the alternative is everything happening in New York City, Tokyo or London. It can also bring wide attention to parts of a country or the world that were previously little known by most people. When applied to romantic plots, it tends to result in Heart Is Where the Home Is (turning down a foreign Love Interest in favor of a local lover). See also Campbell Country, Cultural Posturing, Eagleland Osmosis, Creator's Culture Carryover, Small Reference Pools, and Hemisphere Bias. Compare and contrast Aliens in Cardiff. Supertrope of Hollywood Provincialism. Compare Local Reference. See also Eiffel Tower Effect, where every other country is symbolized by a single building.

Creator Provincialism / int_104b5e68	comment	The most commonly used flume on the Earth territories in The Pendragon Adventure is in The Bronx, a quick drive away from the main character's hometown of Stony Brook, New York. The other was created during the series, and it is in Stony Brook, itself. The author, D.J. MacHale, was born there. This is later justified in the tenth book. Saint Dane created the flumes, and the Travelers were created in order to combat him. It made sense to put them in places where they had easy access to a flume.

Throughout the series, he fights a war to Take Over the World in which practically everyone on both sides is British (a few foreign wizards on Voldemort's side notwithstanding). Australia is assumed to be safe since Hermione sent her parents there. We can only guess whether Britain is the wizarding world's superpower and/or still rules over the Wizarding British Empire, or Voldemort taking over Britain is a prelude to a bid for world domination, or that the only reason it's bad is that the heroes live in Britain.

Creator Provincialism / int_1c649ab3	comment	The Rising of the Shield Hero: One of the main characters, Raphtalia, is a half-human, half-Tanuki girl, which wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary for the genre if wasn't for the small detail those animals are native to East Asianote Tanuki, known as raccoon dogs in English, were introduced in Europe via Russia, but traditionally those animals are considered as a part of Japanese folklore. In some countries like Sweden, they are even considered an invasive species. and the setting of the light novels and the anime adaptation is a Medieval European Fantasy world. The only reason this trope applies is that both the author of the story and Raphtalia's master, Naofumi Iwatani, are from Japan. The three other heroes that came with Naofumi were called from alternate Earths... and just so happened to be from their equivalent of Tokyo, Japan.

Creator Provincialism / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The afterlife is Edo Japan with ghosts. Although there are indications that the shinigami and quincies cover the whole world in their fight against hollows, everything centers around Japan. Even characters that seem to be from other countries all behave like Japanese characters and are based in either Japan or the Japanese afterlife. In fact, despite the hints that Hollows affect the entire world, there are no hints at all that the afterlife is anything but Japanese. That said, Quincies' equipment has a European style and the names of their powers are all German. Similarly, Hollows are Spanish flavored. In addition, the entirety of the human world, except for a few scenes in Mexico and a flashback somewhere vaguely in Europe, is Karakura Town. Not even Japan, just this one city. Hollows seem to only attack Karakura, and Soul Reapers only seem to visit Karakura. Surprisingly subverted when a Western branch of Soul Society was shown: since the action took place primarily in England, any and all things soul-related take on more of a sorcery motif rather than Eastern tradition. This is part of the reason its reveal as the setting for Burn the Witch was so effective.

On the same token, they will often (sometimes tongue in cheek) talk about a film scene or commercial or something else that gave us a patriotic feeling. Similarly, they will judge/review many things from a uniquely American viewpoint. The Nostalgia Critic: Often talks about comic book movie adaptations of superhero comics in his editorials, which aren't as popular outside the USA. Yet Doug Walker (and his fellow reviewers) will gladly geek out about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and others. In his Top 11 countdown of "Best South Park episodes" Doug put "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" on the number one spot because by poking fun at the events of 9/11 the episode helped America get through the trauma of the events. A state-centric view can occur at times: Doug has filmed some episodes cheering for Chicago teams, The Cinema Snob will often mention Illinois, and the NYC-based The Nostalgia Chick and friends love Broadway musicals. Radiodrome devotes an episode to comic book movies, but mostly discusses superhero comics of American origin. The only foreign ones mentioned are Judge Dredd (British, yes, but again a superhero comic) and — for a millisecond — Tintin. Nobody is familiar with Tintin and thus they continue their discussion about American superhero comics. On the other hand, there's Film Brain, who will sometimes make episodes more British than other contributors would (specially when dealing with works that hardly went out of the UK such as Fat Slags). Todd in the Shadows' "One Hit Wonderland" series largely tends towards reviewing bands and artists that have only had one hit within the US charts. Many of the acts covered (such as A Ha, The Proclaimers, and Midnight Oil) had much more success in their respective home countries or in other locations outside of the US itself, something which Todd himself does acknowledge.

The Russians (or even the German V2 rocket and the British jet engine for that matter) seem to have been ignored. In the Enterprise episode "Zero Hour", the villains (a group of alien Nazis) are revealed to have invaded the majority of America and are currently making a final push across the country. A map in their headquarters shows that their "invasion" inexplicably stops at the borders of both Canada and Mexico and that the invasion is solely focused on conquering America.

Creator Provincialism / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: The show has been known to be guilty of treating Springfield as if it is in California, since that is where the writers live, and according to the DVD commentaries they are aware that this trope has been in effect. Most notable is the weather - Springfield is often shown as bright and sunny year-round (the exception being Christmas when it is usually portrayed as permanently snow-covered for thematic reasons). This being The Simpsons, it has been lampshaded. The couch gag of "Them, Robot" shows The Simpsons hanging up a poster in 1989 with the text: "America, the most powerful country in the world". Then the years pass by and in 2012 (the year of broadcast) they pull the old text down to replace it with a new one: "America, too big to fail (we hope)". This is clearly aimed as a spark of hope to the American viewers in light of people suffering under the economic crisis, which nevertheless is a universal problem, not just of America alone. Furthermore, even though the creators try to put in a little My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting humor it still comes across as if the rest of the world should solely pity the poor Americans, while other countries like Greece or Iceland were hit far more seriously by the economic crisis than the USA. In 2014 Scottish people were allowed to vote whether they wanted Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom or become independent. The makers of The Simpsons made a short promo starring their Scottish character Groundskeeper Willie vocally explaining why Scotland should become independent. Many people in Scotland weren't amused, because the Americans who made it seemed to think that every country ruled by the British wants to become independent, just like the USA did in 1776. This would be like a Scot making a video advocating the independence of the People's Republic of New Jersey, The Holy State of Utah, or New England.

Creator Provincialism / int_2b4d461c	comment	Beyond the two held by George Hackenschmidt, the only title belts PWI consider worthy of world championship status were owned by the National Wrestling Alliance, American Wrestling Association, WWE, WCW, ECW and Impact Wrestling. This disqualifies everything not based in the same country as the monthly, including every non-NWA belt used by CMLL and Pro Wrestling ZERO1, every title belt sanctioned by The Universal Wrestling Association for Lucha Libre Internacional or otherwise, everything sanctioned by the GHC and IWGP, the Mega Championship belt, even the Unified Triple Crown, at their peaks. CMLL's exclusion makes pragmatic sense, as there isn't one championship belt indisputably greater than all others(it has at least four). One could argue that the despite International Wrestling Grand Prix allowing defenses in multiple countries it had presided only over two explicitly Japanese rather than "world" feds(which itself is an example on their part, as detailed in the pro wrestling folder), but it's harder to explain away everything else as anything but this trope. And it's strange since the Mexican and Japanese wrestlers are still considered in the monthly rankings and end-year awards, frequently cracking the top ten. Canadians too.

The game's assorted supernatural enemies are also lifted entirely from South-East Asian myths, most prominently from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, while the environment, despite being a fictional setting, references the game's country of origin - a large Merlion statue can be seen in a public square, and the Ghosthunter's headquarters has an indoor waterfall based on the famous one in Singapore's Changi Airport.

Creator Provincialism / int_2efce5b0	comment	Deadly Premonition is openly inspired by Twin Peaks, and as such is set in a tiny town in northwest America and stars American characters. Some instances of Japanese culture come through in the way characters interact with each other, but the game is so surreal, it's hard to notice. One example does shine through though - early on, the characters have to solve a puzzle involving Chess pieces, one that would be simple for an average American adult, but each character is stumped and need someone else to explain Chess to them. On top of that, the room the puzzle is in is adorned with posters labeling each Chess piece and you can interact with them to get a better look. These caveats are more for Japanese players who would be completely unfamiliar with the game.

Creator Provincialism / int_33acebd8	comment	The Guilty Gear saga has a bizarre relationship with this trope, despite the whole franchise being developed in Japan. While there's no shortage of Japanese characters, almost none of them are relevant to the narrative. In fact, according to the backstory of the game, Japan was wiped off the face of the Earth and all the remaining Japanese people live in colonies in other countries. The whole plot of the saga is carried out by an American (Sol Badguy), a Frenchman (Ky Kiske), and their children and relatives. The only important characters with some kind of tie to Japan, however minimal, would be That Man, aka Asuka R. Kreutz, and likely I-No, and therefore Megumi, Axl Low's girlfriend. More egregiously, the whole plot of Strive, the last game in the chronological order of the story, takes place mostly in the U.S. with a few scattered parts taking place abroad, mostly the parts focusing on characters that don't live or stay in the States to help the heroes; a small part near the end of the game takes place at the southern border with Mexico.

The series constantly switches between two main settings: an unnamed North American city and Paris. (The former is actually based on two cities, Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington. Thus the nickname "Seacouver".) While Immortals and their Watchers are supposedly active around the world, there is little mention of any events outside these two locations. A handful of episodes take place in Scotland or feature brief scenes in the Ukraine, Iraq, etc., but that is it for present-day content. Flashbacks were better at having characters and events placed around the world. Even if the main character can just wait around for other Immortals to come to him as There Can Be Only One, the lack of movement still qualifies as playing this trope straight.

Creator Provincialism / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: In Deathly Hallows, Voldemort conquers all of wizarding Britain, which is essentially treated as though it were the same thing as conquering the whole world. Throughout the series, he fights a war to Take Over the World in which practically everyone on both sides is British (a few foreign wizards on Voldemort's side notwithstanding). Australia is assumed to be safe since Hermione sent her parents there. We can only guess whether Britain is the wizarding world's superpower and/or still rules over the Wizarding British Empire, or Voldemort taking over Britain is a prelude to a bid for world domination, or that the only reason it's bad is that the heroes live in Britain. The vast majority of creatures in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are native to the British Isles, and some are specifically described as unique to a particular county, isle, or forest. Meanwhile, beasts native to other continents are seldom given a more specific home range than "China", "Peru", or even "Africa". The foreword explains that the list in the book is not comprehensive, and Scamander is writing for British wizards, so in-universe it would be reasonable for him to show provincialism. Quidditch Through the Ages notes that there are dozens of teams from other places such as the US and South America but these wizards are never referenced in the books ever. Apparently, during the whole series, they decided it wasn't really that important to butt in. And Goblet of Fire introduces two other wizarding schools in France and Norway with equal prestige to Hogwarts, which only receive minor references in the rest of the series. The Expanded Universe map of the wizarding schools betrays a very English and pop-cultural view of world geography: Europe has a disproportionate amount of the major eleven wizarding schools, with three serving a population of under three-quarters of a billion. There's one the Northeastern US that serves North America, one in Brazil for South America, another in Japan, and one in Uganda, and three unknown.note Although one has been implied to be in Australia This means the British Isles (around seventy million inhabitants) and the entirety of Africa (1.3 billion) both need just one school, and there are, at most, three schools for the 4.4 billion of continental Asia. The map also throws countries together without much regard to culture or history (though in all fairness, the wizards in the books don't typically pay Muggle politics much attention): there are such howlers as the Koreans being lumped together with the Japanese,note Korea is a traditional enemy of Japan and was under Japanese military occupation from 1910 to 1945. One supposes one should be thankful Pottermore's writers didn't try to add China in there, too. and India being lumped with China.note One school for two very different countries with over a billion people each, plus all the surrounding countries like Pakistan, Thailand, and Mongolia, none of which has much in common with the two big ones. Mexico has far more in common with the rest of Latin America than with the United States, and Canada, New Zealand, and Australia have more in common with each other than with the US (Potterverse Canada) or Malaysia and Indonesia (Potterverse Oz and NZ). Also somewhat lampshaded in Goblet, when Harry realizes how stupid he was for not realizing there must be wizards in other countries too. Before Voldemort, the dark wizard Grindelwald was incredibly feared. His influence didn't seem to have reached England though, and the most impact his reign seemed to have was his defeat being a bit of trivia on the back of Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card. It's inverted in the seventh book, where Krum's reaction to Grindelwald's sign (actually the symbol of the Deathly Hallows) indicates that wizards in his home country Bulgaria still remember all too well the damage done by Grindelwald (he says Grindelwald murdered his grandfather), to the point where students who draw the symbol on walls as a joke tend to get beaten up by the descendants of Grindelwald's victims. Although with Grindelwald, it could be due to Voldemort's greater extremism (and Rowling herself said that his downfall in 1945 was intentionally done, drawing parallels between him and the Nazis). Even within a British context, Harry Potter is very provincial. Aside from the undisclosed location in Scotland where Hogwarts is located, virtually all the important places in the story are in the extreme south of England. Harry lives in Surrey, Ron lives in Devon, and Malfoy lives in Wiltshire. The first third of Deathly Hallows takes Harry from Surrey to Devon, then to London for a couple of chapters, a few chapters in nondescript woodland, and then to a fictional West Country village, then to the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, then back to Devon, then to Wiltshire, and finally to Shell Cottage, in Cornwall, before finally going to Gringotts in London, and then Hogwarts. For those keeping track, 95% of their England-spanning journey takes place in the West Country. J.K. Rowling grew up in the area. There are two scenes in the last book that take place in Central Europe. Voldemort murders a German-speaking family (although itâ€™s not said if itâ€™s in Germany itself or another German-speaking country) in his search for the Elder Wand towards the beginning of the book and then he goes to Grindelwaldâ€™s prison which is in Austria at about the 2/3 mark of the book. There's finally an attempt at expanding the wizarding world with the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie, set in 1920s New York City... even if it was filmed in England and starring predominantly British actors. The sequel did the same, set in Paris but even the characters are mostly Brits. Pointed out by Harry when he discovers that Voldemort has created six Horcruxes and hidden them to ensure his immortality. Harry immediately remarks the Horcruxes could be hidden anywhere in the world for all they know and would be impossible to ever find. As it turns out, none of them were outside the United Kingdom. Only one of them was even outside of England. Though somewhat justified in that Voldemort is English, and due to his massive ego hid his Horcruxes in locations that had personal importance to him rather than pragmatically hiding them in random places far away.

Then the seventh book reveals that Harry and the reader were almost completely oblivious to a major Secret War (that started in Chicago, but anyway...) and some very important action has been happening on other continents. Additionally, the strongest of factions are noted for having a presence everywhere, Chicago simply being the place that Harry Dresden has "jurisdiction" over; and Harry ends up leaving the area for important, climactic battles at least a couple of times in later books. Also, it's explicitly noted in the books that Chicago (and the Lake Michigan area generally) are supernaturally unusual, the area is thick with ley-lines and strange things that were present from time immemorial, and furthermore, the role of Chicago as a global 'cross-roads' as amplified the effect. Ironically, series creator Jim Butcher never visited Chicago until he finished the first book. He lived in a suburb of Kansas City at the time and is now located outside of Denver, Colorado.

Creator Provincialism / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural is made of this trope, especially in seasons 4 and 5. While the previous seasons can kind of be excused as none of the events that are happening are particularly cataclysmic in-universe and could be happening elsewhere as well, ALL of the events related to the Apocalypse and the final battle between good and evil take place in the US. Even with a limited TV budget, you'd think they could've at least spent a day in Canada or something. Considering Supernatural is mainly filmed in Canada... Actually, kind of averted: we hear about seals being broken all over the world, and as for the rest, well, the Apocalypse is kind of centered around the Winchesters, with Dean and Sam being Michael and Lucifer's true vessels and all. Season 6 onwards still sets most of the action in America, even though the Winchesters are nothing but hateful annoyances to most factions at this point. Despite both Heaven and Hell going through civil wars and various apocalyptic monsters breaking into the world to cause havoc, all of the villains still feel the need to set off their Evil Plan in the American Mid-West. One gets the impression that they could avoid those meddling Winchesters entirely just by picking Tokyo or Nairobi instead. Crowley, notably, isn't even American - he is Scottish, and his "meat-suit" (i.e. his actor) is British. He's the exception, though - if you see an angel, monster, or demon, expect them to be or be possessing an American. May have a retrospective justification in that later seasons reveal Chuck was manipulating events the whole time to tell an epic story centered around the Winchester brothers for his own entertainment; therefore he would keep the key action reasonably close to them, especially given Dean's fear of planes. Justified with the Leviathans: their plans to turn humanity into a food supply are focused on the United States because that country has the fattest population on Earth.

Creator Provincialism / int_44127c7c	comment	In every season of Power Rangers, all alien attacks take place in one town. In the first five seasons, it was the same town every year—Angel Grove. Since season seven, Lost Galaxy, it has at least been a new town each year. Most of these cities (including Angel Grove) are located in California - as near as we can tell, anyway. Fanon and/or Word of God does place some of them outside of CA, but still in the Western US (in states such as Washington, Colorado, and Oregon). Power Rangers RPM's city of Corinth has some Easter Eggs pointing to Boston, the hometown of that season's first Executive Producer. Only Lost Galaxy's city of Terra Venture definitively escapes this, being a space colony.

Creator Provincialism / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld is vast and large, but Terry Pratchett's British outlook comes through very clearly. Fantasy Counterpart Cultures are depicted based on British attitudes to their real-world inspirations, and the most significant locations, Ankh-Morpork, Lancre, and the Chalk, are based on locations in England. (The Chalk in particular is Terry's home county of Wiltshire, while Lancre is a cross between Oop North and his childhood memories of Buckinghamshire. Ankh-Morpork is mostly London, although it has elements of every big city). An in-universe example in Mrs. Bradshaw's Guidebook to the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Hygenic Railway, which assumes that its readers will be starting their journeys at New Ankh Station, rather than travelling from, say, Sto Helit to the Great Wahoonie.

Thankfully the Season Pass balanced it giving 4 Chevrolets, 2 Dodges/SRTs, the Lykan Hypersport, and some others. Also, cars from the previous century, such as the Lambo Diablo SV, Mclaren F1, and Ferrari F40/F50 were introduced. However, the 2 only Japanese things the game has are tracks and the console where it's played, but no cars.

There is also a helter skelter included among the available rides (referred to as a "spiral slide"), something rarely seen in US parks. Then Infogrames neglected to localize the sequel for US audiences, leading to litter bins suddenly becoming rubbish bins, for example. Eventually, a patch was released to remedy this.

Creator Provincialism / int_49aa2aa4	comment	Two Ace Combat games did this for the box art. Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere's original Japanese cover, as well as the cover for the PAL version, had the game's futuristic equivalent of the Russian Su-37, while the American release instead featured the American F-22. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War had the F-14 on all versions of the box art with two exceptions - the Spanish release replaced it with the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the French release with the Dassault Rafale. A very odd version of this trope happens with two characters wielding Japanese names: Kei Nagase and Rena Hirose. With the sole exception of the light novel Ace Combat: Ikaros in the Sky, when she is properly Japanese, Nagase hails from the Strangereal version of the Western world, in this case from the "far eastern side of the Usean continent", according with her profile; the same goes for Rena as well. The odd part of both girls came with the fact there's no equivalent of Japan or even Asia.note By Asia, we mean the the entire continent, both the West and East parts of it. AC3 was originally self-contained and unrelated to the Strangereal universe and the Usea Rena hails from was originally an acronym for "United States of Euro-Asia", from which Japan, Rena's country, is a member until the mega-corporations make the concept of the nation completely obsolete. Later games retconned this. Even more egregious, at least in Rena's case, her name is normally written in kanji, while Nagase's one is written in both katakana (the alphabet used for writing foreign names and words) and in the Western order, and both girls, especially Rena, are treated in-universe as something special or weird. Also, there's another Asian girl, named HÃºxiÄ�n, in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, who is a citizen of the Osean Federation, itself based in the United States. This also brings the question, as HÃºxiÄ�n is a Chinese name, she could be the Strangereal equivalent of a Chinese-American pilot, but since there's no equivalent of Asia in Strangereal, there's also no local counterpart for China in this universe, leaving that lingering question about her origins. The plane roster is an aversion to this trope. Despite the series being made by a Japanese company, most planes aren't Japanese, though this is in part because the series focuses primarily on single- and dual-seater jet fighter craft from after WWII, of which Japan currently has very few distinct types of, and it's rare for any one game to have more than two. Throughout the entire franchise, there have been only five Japanese aircraft featured: two built wholly in Japan (the F-1 from Zero and the A6M5 Zero added in Joint Assault), a third which has only seen one prototype so far (the X-2 Shinshin from Infinity), and the rest being licensed copies or derivatives of American aircraft (the F-2A first flyable in Shattered Skies and the F-15J added to Infinity) or completely fictional (the ASF-X Shinden II from Assault Horizon).

Creator Provincialism / int_4a8a8f85	comment	For example in World of Warships The Russian/Soviet Navy note Its earliest ships were laid down by imperial Russia is a major player and got tech tree lines before Britain, France, Italy. All three nations were considered major naval powers (the British having the world's largest navy at the war's outset) while the Soviet Union's navy was a joke during the Second World War and really didn't do anything particularly interesting. Part of this was because the Russian company had much easier access to the blueprints of Russian ships (the British and especially Italian national archives are notoriously stingy about allowing access to military blueprints, even for ships that have been obsolete for over 60 years), but the appeal of having their own nation's ships in the game was also clearly a factor. This gets muddled in regards to certain overpowered ships, which gave rise to the "Russian Bias" memes. The joke goes that if a ship is overpowered that belongs to another nation, it's because that ship abuses the game mechanics. If it's overpowered and Russian, then it's Russian Bias. "Balans, Comrade" and "The Almighty Spreadsheet" came about because Wargaming will use over/underperformance as reasons/excuses for buffs and nerfs (the most infamous being Kremlin getting its AA nerfed... and nothing else, while the German lines have been power crept into oblivion with nothing but a minor buff to even attempt to bring them back up to par).

In Real Life, World War II started in 1939 or earlier - the US simply didn't fight in it until 1941. Freakazoid! quietly assumed that World War II did not exist until the United States was attacked, completely ignoring earlier events that did not directly involve the United States such as Japan's invasion of China in 1937 and Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939.

This results in things like a "Cheap" Bracelet costing $98. Although a lot of items would be too cheap if this was the case since the yen's value has been less than one US cent for most of history, and peaked at about 1Â¼ cents the year EarthBound came out.

Creator Provincialism / int_5425ce75	comment	The Grand Theft Auto series of games is, in theory, set in America, but is made by Scottish developer DMA Design/Rockstar North. A lot of place names in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are thinly-disguised ones from Scottish cities. There's also an exact replica of Scotland's Forth Road Bridge in San Fierro, which is placed as the game's equivalent of San Francisco's Oakland Bay Bridge, as well as an adjacent replica of Forth Rail Bridge (whereas the real-life San Francisco has no such thing). Rockstar North is based in Edinburgh and Dundee and evidently like their in-jokes. The HD games, for the most part, try to downplay this as much as possible, especially Grand Theft Auto V. The developers still put in a couple of British in-jokes here and there, however. There's a car with weak performance stats that's all over the first game, the Mundano. It's clearly modeled after the Ford Mondeo that could be seen all over the place in Great Britain back then. It was also available in North America, but under the names Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique, so the pun in the name only works for those who know its British and European name.

Creator Provincialism / int_57f80079	comment	Up until the third book, The Mortal Instruments series takes place exclusively in New York City, and all of the main characters, with the exception of Magnus, are New Yorkers too. The third book, City of Glass, finally averts this as it introduces Idris, a fictional European country sandwiched between France, Germany, and Switzerland, and the homeworld of the Shadowhunters. However, most of the (main) series alternate only between these two locations, up until Los Angeles is seen, if only briefly, in City of Heavenly Fire. Its prequel series, The Infernal Devices, completely averts this. Even though the main protagonist is an American, the entire series is set in the United Kingdom, and her new friends (and villains) are therefore British. It also doesn't go through Small Reference Pools by only showing London either, as it actually shows a bit more pieces of land, including, believe it or not, Wales! Downplayed in The Bane Chronicles which still has a preference for New York, but also shows some other places (six of the short stories take place in New York, two take place in London, one takes place in Paris and one takes place in Peru).

Creator Provincialism / int_59151283	comment	The Metal Gear series plays with this trope to ridiculous levels. Just like the aforementioned games, almost all the characters are technically Western too, but many of the characters, including the protagonist Solid Snake, have some relation with Japan, even if that relation barely matters for the plot, other than helping the Japanese players to empathize with the already too Western cast of the series. The only characters with closer ties with Japan are Kazuhira Miller (even if he looks too American, being half-American himself)note aside from him are easter egg characters modeled after the voice actors, Teliko Friedman, Michiko Takiyama, Johnny Sasaki and Allen Ishiba, a Japanese-American soldier from a radio drama. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes plays with this trope to hilarious levels: The only Japanese character you're going to find here is Hideo Kojima himself. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance plays this trope somewhat straight: The main character is an American-Liberian Ninja cyborg, one of the stages of the game takes place in a Japanese garden, one of the bad guys is a Japanese-Brazilian ninja as well and in the oddest case of this, Senator Armstrong use a Sumo wrestling pose before fighting against Raiden. The odd part came with the fact it heavily implied he somewhat dislikes Japanese culture. Plenty of Japanese elements sneak themselves into the games when they wouldn't make sense in a Western setting. One of the most obvious is Volgin, a Marxist-Leninist, who is obsessed with Judo and repeats "kuwabara kuwabara", the latter has as much sense as a KKK member talking about Anansi the spider. In case that isn't enough to indicate what market this game is actually for, "kuwabara kuwabara" gets zero explanation, but there's a looooong explanation about the significance of the names ADAM and EVA. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Raiden's appearance is very culturally Japanese, with a Japanese name, samurai-influenced armour, ninja weaponry, and martial arts, a stylised Bishōnen appearance, and a kabuki-themed breather on his water mask, but he was born in Liberia, there's no evidence he's ever been to Japan, and he lives in New York. The Arc Words "la-li-lu-le-lo" are themed around a Japanese Ranguage pun that no one other than weeaboos knows about in the West. Japanese text is used in the game's UI with zero explanation. Numerous parts of the games' philosophy come off as very culturally Japanese, as well. The most obvious one is the obsession with nuclear weapons, which has a certain doom-laden tone that is generally inaccessible to any country that has not experienced a direct nuclear strike on a major civilian population centre. Various characters appear who appear to be American action heroes, but instead of extolling American movie virtues like individualism and being the best, instead state the Zen-ish virtue of simply doing whatever is required of you by the times, and tend to incorporate samurai-ish Warrior Poet elements. These elements also tend to crop up in throwaway details, like how any mention of drugs is condemnatory apart from Snake's hilariously casual reliance on Benzedrine (something that only makes sense in Japan's drug culture), and Laughing Octopus's backstory being based off an untrue but commonly believed Japanese factoid about why Northern Europeans don't eat octopus.

When the US finally decides to let the governments of the wider world in on what's been going on (i.e. seven years of exploring other planets through the Stargate and waging a secret war against the Goa'uld, an empire of alien galactic overlords), many of the other world leaders are incredulous at America's arrogance in taking unilateral action that affects the entire Earth. And when the Air Force suggests that a multi-national Stargate effort should be headed by America, most of them balk outright until Stargate Command's alien allies, the Asgard, back the American representatives up as a deus ex machina. Ultimately, while America tries to get international cooperation, it's still the one primarily saving the day.

Emily Wong's liveblog of the Reaper invasion took place mostly in the greater Los Angeles area, which includes Electronic Arts' headquarters.

Creator Provincialism / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: In franchise lore, the warp drive, the semi-sentient computer, and the transporter were all invented by Americans. At least one Enterprise executive was influenced by a series of essays by Sal Lagonia that suggested The Federation was likely formed from the victorious powers from World War III, so the Anglo-Amercancentrism may have been intentional. (This would also explain the overall United Space of America motif of the Federation, with most of the other galactic powers having parallels to various non-AngloAmerican nations.) While all of the shows in the franchise have made an effort to include characters from around the world, the majority of them are still American. Out of the seven main captains, five have been American, the only exceptions being Picard (French) and Philippa Georgiou (Malaysian). For a franchise set three or four centuries in the future, characters tend to be awfully familiar with and interested in 20th-century American pop culture. Starfleet Academy and Starfleet HQ are all set in San Francisco. Thus, when a crew goes to Earth, it usually goes to San Francisco. Even when Time Travel is involved, and the crews go to Earth before Star Fleet existed, they still often wind up in San Francisco. Star Trek: Enterprise The title sequence is biased towards American space and aviation achievements. The Russians (or even the German V2 rocket and the British jet engine for that matter) seem to have been ignored. In the Enterprise episode "Zero Hour", the villains (a group of alien Nazis) are revealed to have invaded the majority of America and are currently making a final push across the country. A map in their headquarters shows that their "invasion" inexplicably stops at the borders of both Canada and Mexico and that the invasion is solely focused on conquering America. Star Trek: Voyager: American captain Kathryn Janeway informs American officer Tom Paris that he's the latest in a line of pioneers including Orville Wright, Neil Armstrong, and Zefram Cochrane. As Armstrong was a pioneer of exploration rather than a new form of transportation, he should have been replaced with the Russian Yuri Gagarin.

Creator Provincialism / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider, like its sister franchise Super Sentai, has everything important happen in Japan. Some series have excuses: Hibiki focuses on Oni and various Japanese spirits, Kabuto's monsters are aliens who came to Earth on a meteor that landed in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, and Fourze focuses on a single school because the Big Bad is its owner, the teachers are his minions, and they hand out Monster of the Week trinkets to students. Some series aren't quite so justified, though; mostly the Showa series, where the supposedly international terrorist organizations would only attack Japan instead of going after a country that didn't have a costumed superhero protecting it. In the manga Kamen Rider Spirits, the evil space empire Badan attacks the whole world, with the Kamen Riders and their allies splitting up to take them on wherever they appear. The attack is still mostly concentrated on Tokyo, though this is because it was the seat of Badan's power in the past and they see it as "reclaiming what's ours". Even earlier, the first chapter is set in New York City, where Rider ally Kazuya Taki has been telling local kids about the Kamen Riders, causing at least one to muse about how much it sucks that the US doesn't have one. The Showa Era shows did sorta-kinda explain this. In the first show when the original hero had to be written out due to the actor being injured, he was replaced by another Rider with the handwave that the original was fighting Shocker plots in other countries. It was implied this was the reason the heroes of previous shows only showed up once in a while in their successors' shows: they were also fighting the current villain group, but conveniently offscreen most of the time.

Although the action takes place mostly in Britain, many heroes have non-British ancestry, or have immigrated. British wizards think of themselves as of "the greatest magic nation in the world", but it is implied on multiple occasions that other regions of the world, from Asia to North America, have their own well-developed wizard communities and rich history, which is only tangentially related to the history of Magic Britain. When on the Hermione's trial Harry scares a dementor, this makes news all over English-speaking wizarding world, except for the United States. "The American Wizard" is more concerned with wirewolves supposedly being the first historical population of Wyoming.

Creator Provincialism / int_89465e75	comment	Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Despite revolving around Greek gods, the first book in the series is set in the modern US. The farthest place away from the US that the series shows is when Percy dreams of seeing Rachel spelling messages on a nondescript Caribbean beach (her family is vacationing there). Justified in the first book, where Percy is told that the Greek gods relocate to whoever happens to be the current Western powerhouse at the moment. Sister series The Kane Chronicles seems to follow in THO's footsteps, as it breaks the provincialism from day one: the first book opens in London, the second has the heroes visit Saint Petersburg and Egypt, while the final book, with the exception of the prologue and epilogue, takes place entirely in Egypt, which to the present day still acts as the capital of the Egyptian gods, unlike the Greeks. Oh, and Sadie is British too, and this fact is even reflected in her narration, which uses British English. However, the other sister series, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard seems to have fallen back to this trope, as it's said that Boston, due to a peculiar history with the Vikings, is the word-to-word Hub of the universe, or rather, the Nine Worlds. The human main characters also fall into this, as both Magnus and Sam are (Bostonian) Americans. Although, this is not as obvious as the PJTO series by virtue of not playing Boston highly at all; most of the events happen in other worlds parallel to Boston, probably because Magnus is dead.

Meanwhile, beasts native to other continents are seldom given a more specific home range than "China", "Peru", or even "Africa".

Creator Provincialism / int_91f0110a	comment	A very odd version of this trope happens with two characters wielding Japanese names: Kei Nagase and Rena Hirose. With the sole exception of the light novel Ace Combat: Ikaros in the Sky, when she is properly Japanese, Nagase hails from the Strangereal version of the Western world, in this case from the "far eastern side of the Usean continent", according with her profile; the same goes for Rena as well. The odd part of both girls came with the fact there's no equivalent of Japan or even Asia.note By Asia, we mean the the entire continent, both the West and East parts of it. AC3 was originally self-contained and unrelated to the Strangereal universe and the Usea Rena hails from was originally an acronym for "United States of Euro-Asia", from which Japan, Rena's country, is a member until the mega-corporations make the concept of the nation completely obsolete. Later games retconned this. Even more egregious, at least in Rena's case, her name is normally written in kanji, while Nagase's one is written in both katakana (the alphabet used for writing foreign names and words) and in the Western order, and both girls, especially Rena, are treated in-universe as something special or weird. Also, there's another Asian girl, named HÃºxiÄ�n, in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, who is a citizen of the Osean Federation, itself based in the United States. This also brings the question, as HÃºxiÄ�n is a Chinese name, she could be the Strangereal equivalent of a Chinese-American pilot, but since there's no equivalent of Asia in Strangereal, there's also no local counterpart for China in this universe, leaving that lingering question about her origins.

The nations of Touwa and Westia, Fantasy Counterpart Cultures of Japan and Italy, respectively, hate each other, and the inhabitants of each country are stated to be equally as racist toward the other. However, while most of the Westians, barring some of the main characters, are shown in practice to be racist assholes, the Touwans are only shown to be delinquents or stern traditionalists whose prejudice hardly comes close to the Westians. This is best exemplified in a scene where a diplomat from each country visits Dahlia Academy—the Westian is openly rude and nasty toward the Touwan students while the Touwan diplomat is portrayed as contemplative and wise.

Creator Provincialism / int_989298d3	comment	Wargaming gets the accusation that it intentionally makes vehicles from the Soviet Union overpowered in its games like World of Tanks, who have been developed in former Soviet Republics (Russia, Belarus, and so on). Who can say if it's true or not, but the attention the Soviet military gets can be a little excessive. For example in World of Warships The Russian/Soviet Navy note Its earliest ships were laid down by imperial Russia is a major player and got tech tree lines before Britain, France, Italy. All three nations were considered major naval powers (the British having the world's largest navy at the war's outset) while the Soviet Union's navy was a joke during the Second World War and really didn't do anything particularly interesting. Part of this was because the Russian company had much easier access to the blueprints of Russian ships (the British and especially Italian national archives are notoriously stingy about allowing access to military blueprints, even for ships that have been obsolete for over 60 years), but the appeal of having their own nation's ships in the game was also clearly a factor. This gets muddled in regards to certain overpowered ships, which gave rise to the "Russian Bias" memes. The joke goes that if a ship is overpowered that belongs to another nation, it's because that ship abuses the game mechanics. If it's overpowered and Russian, then it's Russian Bias. "Balans, Comrade" and "The Almighty Spreadsheet" came about because Wargaming will use over/underperformance as reasons/excuses for buffs and nerfs (the most infamous being Kremlin getting its AA nerfed... and nothing else, while the German lines have been power crept into oblivion with nothing but a minor buff to even attempt to bring them back up to par). And likewise for World of Tanks (developed in neighboring Belarus), there are far more Soviet tanks in the game than from any other nation. While it's certainly true that the Soviet Union designed and built a huge variety of tanks during the roughly 1930 to 1960 time period that WoT (mostly) covers, so did the United States and Britain, neither of which have anywhere near as many tanks represented in-game. This disparity is even more obvious when it comes to premium and reward tanks (26 American, 19 British, 45 Russian, not counting clone premiums), not helped by the fact that several of the Russian premiums are actually British-made tanks that are currently exclusive to Russia rather than being available under the British flag.

There are allusions to Blacklisters operating all over the world, and the task force is willing to operate abroad to pursue either criminals or its investigations, but the bulk of any episode will take place in America. Sometimes this is justified as some Blacklisters are based out of America, and occasionally it will turn out that Red actually helped lure them to the US to make the apprehension easier but in most cases it's just a Contrived Coincidence that a Blacklister happens to be doing a job in the US which therefore gives the task force an excuse and opportunity to go after them.

The closest would be Jotaro Kujo and Josuke Higashikata of respectively parts 3 and 4, both being one-half Japanese. However, part 5 has several characters in Italy who hold more Japanese attitudes, such as Mista being highly superstitious about the number 4, and the main cast's initial motivation being spurred by an attitude towards drugs which is more typical of yakuza than Mafiosi.

Creator Provincialism / int_b4709254	comment	At times, TV Tropes itself. Uses of phrases like "our part of the world" and so on, especially when used to contrast with other cultures and nations, reveal the assumptions of the troper responsible. Usually involves everyone living in the US or sharing the troper's political views. Go count how many times 9/11 is mentioned under Harsher in Hindsight. Or how many American films, actors, and TV shows have their own articles as opposed to other countries? The overabundance of pages and entire character sheets for major American superhero comics like Marvel or DC also says a lot. Even European works still get a fair share. Anime, manga, and other Japanese works also count, because works that get heavy coverage tend to be ones with Occidental Otaku appeal. Works that are released in neither region, if they get their own pages, will probably just receive maintenance from one or two editors. Whenever a troper mentions "our troops" in an article and talks about how people should respect them rest assured he means American troops. Some works and products are released in multiple territories with different names for each territory, or have terms and character names changed for localized versions. You can sometimes guess what region the author of a particular edit hailed from based on the titles they use; for example, someone who uses "Sega Genesis" is probably from North America. (It's known as the Sega Mega Drive in the rest of the world, including its native country of Japan) If a page describes the values of a culture different from the modern United States, expect the page to pothole to Values Dissonance. Entries sometimes follow a mention of the defeat of Nazi Germany stating that World War II is over, forgetting about the still defiant Japanese and their invasion of East and Southeast Asia.

Creator Provincialism / int_bcadd7cb	comment	In Warhammer 40,000: In the older background, it was hinted that the Golden Throne was not only in Britain but also in Nottingham, where Games Workshops' headquarters are situated. Newer material makes it more likely to be somewhere in Eastern Europe, where the Emperor is supposed to have arisen. At least, if the Throne is anywhere near the center of his palace, which covers much of Eurasia. The Horus Heresy novels avert this, fixing the original part of the Imperial Palace atop the Himalayas in Tibet and/or Nepal. This may just be the Emperor's sense of spectacle or may be a Gundam Shout-Out. Older fluff (since retconned) indicated that the Emperor was Jesus, but a still-canon one is that he was Saint George (the Patron Saint of England). The short story "The Last Church", in which the Emperor destroys the last remaining church on Earth, is set in Lindisfarne, a church in northern Britain. However, this has a more symbolic meaning, as Lindisfarne was the site of the first major Viking raid on Western Europe, and the start of their long history of attacks on Christian holy sites.

Part of the reason for putting the location there was that, in the 1980s, Seattle was something of an "every town" that didn't have a reputation for anything specific. FASA's official headquarters are in Chicago, which became a big part of the setting fiction when an invasion of magical insect spirits decimated the city. The nuclear bomb blast that created "Bug City" in Chicago was detonated at the FASA offices.

Creator Provincialism / int_c43df4d8	comment	In Doctor Who, Britain and parts thereof are generally the centre of the universe â€” particularly London and The Midlands. For a show about Time Travel, there's also a suspicious amount of preference for the Doctor going to Next Sunday A.D., particularly to recruit his companions. Lampshaded in "Fury from the Deep", a Patrick Troughton story, which opened with a funny sequence of Victoria griping that the TARDIS always seems to end up on Earth, and Jamie (a Scot) griping that it always ends up in England. Lampshaded via the acting in "Robot", which hinges on the ridiculous premise that America, Russia, and China have all given their nuclear missile codes to British politicians as part of a disarmament treaty. "Pyramids of Mars", an Egyptian-themed story, still takes place in the UK. "Voyage of the Damned" features the Doctor wincing when he discovers where the ship may end up crashing: Buckingham Palace. And at the climax of "Journey's End", his reaction to Earth being the last planet left â€” and the one that didn't get sent back with the other easier alien planet-theft device â€” is "Oh... guess which one?" Space travel is overwhelmingly British in Doctor Who. One of the few exceptions is "The Waters of Mars": the base is a realistic mix of nationalities, with the majority being American, but also including a Pakistani, a German, and an Australian... and one of the few British residents is the commander. The resident Badass Crew UNIT is, despite supposedly being an international coalition, seemingly 95% British. This might be a case of episodes being set in Britain, in the US 95% of UNIT might be American. In the Third Doctor era, it was described as a UN agency with cover as a counter-terrorism force, the Brigadier's superior was not British, and one of the novels referred to a UNIT SAC (Supreme Allied Commander), but the national contingents could be freely withdrawn from UNIT command. The Torchwood Institute is British, having been founded by Queen Victoria. The spin-off show Torchwood is set in Wales, resulting in lots of Aliens in Cardiff. Lampshaded and justified in the Doctor Who Magazine short story "Useless Things", which explains that the standard operating procedure for alien invasions is to start out in a rural area on a small island, move to the capital once you've established a beachhead, and then move on to countries that take up a sizable proportion of the globe from there.

Most of the action takes place in Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. Figures like Pericles, Julius Caesar, The Prophet Muhammad, Charlemagne and Peter I of Russia get entire episodes devoted to them. But the cultures of the rest of Asia, Africa, and pre-Colombian America are hardly represented. For example, out of the entire history of China, only Kublai Khan gets the spotlight treatment and then only through his interactions with Marco Polo. The creators tried to make up for this by making a sequel entitled Once Upon a Time... in America, which focused on the history of the Americas, including pre-Colombian times.

Downloadable content packages after the release of Forza Motorsport 4 have helped to balance out classic car distribution by adding in more classic Japanese and British cars. Forza Horizon is set in Colorado, but the game's licensed soundtrack is utterly dominated by European artists (with many of them being relatively unheard of in the US) since the game was developed in the UK. Horizon 2 is set in Southern Europe, so at least the European dominance is justified.

It gets pretty ridiculous in later seasons when the villains are looking for a particular object inside of humans and somehow never decide to target people outside of Tokyo. Then again, it's kind of hard to think any other town could have so many supernatural shenanigans going on when the 30th-century Moon Kingdom is Tokyo. The most ridiculous part is that whoever IS carrying what they're looking for will, without fail, be in Tokyo. (At least we can kinda fanwank that the villains had it on good authority somehow that Tokyo was the place to look for Whatever.) And 99.9% of the time, it's likely to be carried by one or more of the senshi.

The author keeps the conflict fairly small by introducing a long-lasting paranoia that makes Muzan not willing to make too many demons and his own demon army often disliking each other as it is; that keeps the plot and its characters tightly focused in Japan, rooted heavily in its beliefs and culture, making easier for Gotouge Koyoharu to formulate something they know about.

Since 1996 most people elected to be "Person of the Year" have been Americans. The magazine even went so far as to name "The American Soldier" "Person of 2003", despite the fact that the Americans weren't the only troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. So far, the only exceptions have been Irishman Bono (2005, albeit alongside Bill and Melinda Gates), Russian Vladimir Putin (2007), and Pope Francis (2013), not counting general winners like "You" (2006) and "The Protester" (2011). When Time tried to elect the "Person of the Century" in 1999 there was criticism that too many names were Americans, and not only that, some of them were solely important to the U.S.A. itself, not the world in general. Averted with the 2015 selection: Angela Merkel.

Cartman has also been borrowed by the Denver Nuggets (and in a case of headquarters instead of hometown provincialism, the Los Angeles Kings). Additionally, Parker was raised Catholic, and thus every non-Jewish person in town practices that particular branch of Christianity, despite the fact that in Colorado Protestants outnumber Catholics 2:1. Although neither Trey Parker nor Matt Stone was raised Mormon, they include a lot of stuff about Mormons in their works, as Colorado's right next to Utah. Thus, they knew a lot of them growing up. In the Imaginationland trilogy and compilation movie, more than half of the High Council of the most important good imaginary characters in history is composed by American popular culture and literature characters: Popeye, Luke Skywalker, The Matrix's Morpheus, Glinda the Good Witch, and Wonder Woman. The exceptions are Zeus (classical mythology), Gandalf the Grey, Aslan the Lion (both invented by Brits), and Jesus (who is somehow both an in-show real character and a fictional character. Celebrity Paradox?). Kind of justified by USA's popular culture being hugely influential around the Earth for decades, but still, it's pretty funny to see Popeye being compared to millennia-old deities and mythology characters.

However, there are sourcebooks for almost every other part of the world (South America, Africa, Germany, Russia, etc.) including other regions of the U.S. (New England, the Southwest, etc.).

Creator Provincialism / int_e85e05b5	comment	Another Chicago example would be the Divergent series. Forget the world, forget the U.S., forget even the freaking Midwest. The series never ever steps outside of Chicago City as defined today (i.e. most of Cook County and a sliver of DuPage County to house the O'Hare airport), even though the series is set in a distant future. If we go by characters, however, there are a handful who are explicitly stated not to be Chicagoan: Nita, who came from Indy and Natalie Prior, and thus her children Tris and Caleb, who are Milwaukeeans.

What country did the Melbourne-based cast choose to focus on? Australia. If you can't tell from the title what "Would It Really Be Nice if the World Was Cadbury?" is about, don't worry. The guys immediately admit that making an episode about an obscure ad for Cadbury chocolate might alienate their listeners who aren't Australians born in the mid-eighties.

Most of the cars in the game hail from Japan. Gran Turismo 2 features used car dealerships where you can buy dozens of old cars that are otherwise unavailable in the game - but only for Japanese brands. The rest of the world only sells brand-new cars from current (as of 1999) offerings, except for a few timeless classics.

Despite the galaxy being made up of many races besides humans, Japanese appears to be the only human language that has official status across it. Hostess bars, an exclusively East Asian phenomenon in real life, are widespread. There's a planet of aliens who are obsessed with anime, and the resort planet of Isekandar resembles a Japanese tourist town, with shops selling exclusively Japanese foods and souvenirs and its chief attraction, a giant glowing alien crystal, being housed in a building with all the trappings of a Shinto shrine. In fact, most of the planets the main trio visit along the way are Fantasy Counterpart Cultures of various Japanese towns and cities.

Apparently, during the whole series, they decided it wasn't really that important to butt in. And Goblet of Fire introduces two other wizarding schools in France and Norway with equal prestige to Hogwarts, which only receive minor references in the rest of the series.

The odd part came with the fact it heavily implied he somewhat dislikes Japanese culture.

The fictional characters (or "Creations") that came to life in the real world are all based on in-universe Japanese properties, because the one who brought them was herself a Creation drawn by a young Japanese doujin artist, so she brought the ones her author was most familiar with. Played straight because, when in the end the entire world is in danger, nobody outside our heroes and the Japanese government is ever shown to care (or know) about it.

Creator Provincialism / int_f4a04cd2	comment	Resident Evil 3: Nemesis's Raccoon City is supposed to be a modern, Midwestern, American city, but the size of the streets and presence of extensive back-alleys and shopping arcades are clear evidence that Raccoon was based on a contemporary Japanese city. For reference, many of the streets are blocked by a single, longitudinal car across the road. There are very, very few cities in America with streets that narrow, especially ones with a population of over 100,000 residents. Further games in the series that revisit Raccoon, however, seem to retcon them to the proper width. In the 1998 version of Resident Evil 2, Sherry Birkin wears a Japanese-style student uniform, despite living in the midwestern US. The use of green herbs as healing items across the series. In Japan and other Eastern countries, this is a staple of traditional medicine. In America, the most common medicine associated with this was illegal in all 50 states at the time of the first few games' release. Cue weed jokes. For the most part, though, the entire Resident Evil series averts this. Not a single character among the main cast is Japanese or of Japanese descent.

A presidential regime with a president and a vice-president elected for 4 years, a line of succession in case of death of the president and members of government called "secretaries", while this kind of system is not the most common among democracies. Futurama's Earth has even the same flag! This led to the sub-trope: United Space of America.

The attack is still mostly concentrated on Tokyo, though this is because it was the seat of Badan's power in the past and they see it as "reclaiming what's ours". Even earlier, the first chapter is set in New York City, where Rider ally Kazuya Taki has been telling local kids about the Kamen Riders, causing at least one to muse about how much it sucks that the US doesn't have one.

The police wear LAPD uniforms and drive LAPD-colored cars, the pilot "To the Rescue" features the L.A. city hall as well as Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Seymour's Travel Agency in "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!" is located near Lankershim Boulevard and Cahuenga Boulevard which meet in Studio City, and "The Luck Stops Here" mentions Flower Street (they're mentioned again in "A Wolf in Cheap Clothing"), one of which stretches from Hollywood to Burbank.
