In "my April Fool's day confession", Eliezer Yudkosky writes of dath ilan,
- "When autopiloted cars were developed 20 years before I left, and the modular house system was already in place because that just required big cables, there was coordination to pick the largest stretch of land on Earth which had good year-round weather.
- And then that became ‘the great city’ and pretty much everyone who wasn’t farming, mining, or otherwise tied to a particular location moved house there."
- Keltham, in mad investor chaos and the woman of asmodeus, reafirms this:
- "Default - uh, that's the biggest city in Civilization where you live if you want to live around lots of options, and you don't have any particular reason to live anywhere else."
- On what continent did Civilization decide to locate their default city? Eurasia or the Americas?
