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 | Cinnabar Cloud Grotto Heaven (Danxia Dongtian), Fuzhou City, Jiangxi, China

Nx-012 | Univers'Island Kingdom
Description: The Univers'Island Kingdom 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 beleive the "Worldians" should be conquered. The Foundation is collaborating with the peace-seeking Unislists to prevent conflict and keep the existence of The Univers'Island Kingdom 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. These rodents rely on their skill at biothaumaturgy and paraminerology for survival. Site-14 maintains a diplomatic relationship with these non-human inhabitants of the Nexus, preventing exploration by other groups, and ensuring that entities found deeper within the Abyss remain contained within the Nexus.

Nx-ZH-38 | Eindeloze Lucht, Taiwan | Site-ZH-16
Area Class: Briar
Description: Accessible from Taiwan via a number of "anchor points". The name means "endless sky", since the only land within the Nexus is a single floating island.

Nx-79 | Gmina Cyców, Poland | Site-PL-793
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.

List of Free Ports
FP-01 | Three Portlands
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.

FP-03 | Eurtec
Area Class: Free Port
Description: Eurtec is the prime technological metropolis in the west and an apple of the Global Occult Coalition's eye. Founded by the Servants of the Silicon Nornir5 in order to speed up the development of paratech for their own agenda. While relatively young, it has nonetheless established its presence in the anomalous world as an important global city and the primary European Free Port. However, it has also garnered an infamous reputation as a hotbed for paracrime that is barely dealt with.

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.

FP-05C | Rjokang
Area Class: Free Port
Description: A seaport located in a pocket dimension, said to have once been the fairyland of the Mershark(鲛人), the daughter of Njord or Njaɡ(Hokkien: liok) the Ocean-Lord(海若). Later developed in the Ming Dynasty as a haven by Chinese fishermen and merchants. Through certain thaumaturgical Ways, the Freeport can be accessed from and can grant access to any area of the sea by passing through fog. 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.

The German-speaking branch of the Foundation monitors Sjhlfels am Rhein from an Outpost of Site-DE20, while the GOC maintains a presence through St. Caesarius Hospital, a specialist clinic for anomalous ailments operated by the World Parahealth Organisation6.

Little Havana is the largest paranormal enclave in the Caribbean, containing two universities as well as the Royal Palm Hotel run by Marshall, Carter and Dark. Due to tensions with the Cuban government, the Foundation has been unable to get the Freeport to sign the Treaty on Free Anomalous Communities.

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.
