International Locations of Interest

This is a list of anomalous Locations of Interest documented by International branches of the Foundation. These locations are generally referred to as "Nexuses" or "Freeports" on the English Language site, although other branches may use different terminology. Locations of Interest from any branch can be listed on this page without using the English Language Site's format, although other branches are of course free to make use of the formats detailed at the bottom of the page. Translations should be linked if available, but otherwise untranslated pages can be linked for reference.

Note that this list is distinct from the Log of Unexplained Locations - Nexuses are generally much larger than Unexplained Locations, and have a permanent population aware of their anomalous properties.

This is an open collaboration - members of any branch have permission to add additional locations, update the list of appearances, or edit a description to better describe the location.

Nx-CN-08 | Danxia Wanling Dongtian

Area Class: Shangri-La Briar

Description: Persumed Non-euclidean or antimemetic space within China, accessible only through a series of rituals. A valley that used to serve as the sacred ancestral base of the once prosperous Taoist sect Beidi, are now inhabited by wildlife and other anomalous remains. Occupied by members of the Global Occult Coalition, limiting exploration by the Foundation.

Nx-012 | Kingdom of Univers'Isle

Description: The Kingdom of Univers'Isle is a floating island in an extradimensional reality that otherwise consists of a completely empty sky. The kingdom was founded in the 17th Century by the inhabitants of Saint-Guérin in Savoy, France, who travelled through cracks in the sky to colonise the landmass. The intervention of the Catholic Church stranded them there, causing the isolated societyto develop their own identity as "Isleans". Their paratechnology eventually enabled them create interdimensional portals, resuming contact with the baseline universe, although there is tension between factions that wish for peace, and others that believe the "Worldians" should be conquered. The Foundation is collaborating with the peace-seeking Unislists to prevent conflict and keep the existence of The Kingdom of Univers'Isle concealed.

Nx-14 | Hoiohiña, Guiana Shield, South America | Site-14

Area Class: Dunwich

Description: Subterranean ecosystem located at least 40 km beneath South America, inhabited by large intelligent rodents of the Rattus abissos species.

Area Class: Dunwich

Description: The whole area of the Cyców commune in Poland is classified as Nx-79 "Gmina Cyców" of Dunwich class. Nx-79 is where the barrier separating our reality layer from the demonic reality layer is at its thinnest. Demonic anomalies are extremely common in this area. For this reason, the Foundation isolated the area of the commune from the rest of civilization and established its own Site. The headquarters of GoI-PL-079 ("Hunter Industries") are also located in this nexus.

Area Class: Free Port

Description: A city-state located in its own pocket universe, with connections to the Isle of Portland in the United Kingdom and the cities of Portland in Oregon and Maine, Three Portlands is the largest free port in North America. A haven for anartists, occultists, and parahumans, it has a population of at least 80,000. Foundation operations within the city are prevented or seriously limited by the Hoover Mandate of the United States government. Under the terms of this policy, the United States guarantees the city's independence and status as a Free Port, while assuming responsibility for its security and secrecy; execution of these duties falls to the UIU4, which shares law enforcement jurisdiction with the local police.

However, it has also garnered an infamous reputation as a hotbed for paracrime that is barely dealt with.

Associated Articles:

FP-04 | La Rue Macabre

Area Class: Free Port

Description: La Rue Macabre is an anomalous Free Port in New Orleans. Filled with the bizarre, the forgotten, the outcasts, and the shunned, La Rue Macabre is a place made for the dregs of anomalous society. It's a place to meet, to share stories, to drink away worries, maybe make a few bucks working odd jobs in the city, or if you're really strapped for cash, out in the swamp, and to conduct trade. Life is slower here, sweltering in the heat of the swamp.

For this reason, it has historically been contested by various powers in the Far East, including the Lan-Fang Republic and Colonies of the West, but it is now a Free City controlled by several GoIs. At present, the Mazu Faith and other oceans-related beliefs are maintained in this place.

Butai is currently one of the main hotbeds of anomalous trade. It is protected and partially guarded by the German Regional Council, whose operations center with respect to this matter is located in Zone-42, which serves as both a facility and an embassy of the Foundation in the place, where since 2001 it has seen the blossoming of positive relations between the city-state and the Foundation.

Buildings are connected by countless passageways, roads, cables, and guts, forming a network of people, logistics, and information. The center is mainly composed of office buildings of illegal companies, surrounded by slums and various districts, forming a diverse hell. O/O attracts goods and sentient beings from various eras, places, and worlds due to an abnormal phenomenon called "Call". This takes various forms, from simple teleportation to "transmigration to another world", portal formation, and large-scale ethnic migration, and also functions as a bridge that connects the 98th world with the base reality and other worlds.
