Whereas before I did not! Like, there was town, and other towns, and I guess a few halfassed one-church-a-store-and-a-bar village remnants each outlying, and the roads between them, but by my time all the roads had accumulated like at least one building of development deep along them, such that you could travel all over a large chunk of territory and always be directly adjacent to some sort of human settlement, and it was only from the air you realized what narrow filaments these roads were through field tracts.

That map of Oregon with those locations marked is basically the most chaotic you can get while remaining 100% accurate
A lot of the early border disputes with American states was that colonial grants had been given, basically, as a certain slice of coastline “and inland”
Well from what I hear about Israel I can picture MDMA being big enough in the eastern Mediterranean to account for Turkey and Tunisia, but what’s up with Hungary and Lithuania?
