Where is Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake set?

1990 video game

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990) is not pinned on this map. Wikidata records its setting as Asia and nothing finer. It is set in Zanzibar Land, which does not exist. Where the game takes place, not where it was made: a game is filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Why there is no pin

Wikidata records this game as set in Asia, and nothing finer. That is true and it is not a place: a dot in the middle of it would claim something nobody wrote, so the statement is left as a sentence. It is also set in Zanzibar Land, which does not exist. An invented place has no coordinates because it is not anywhere, and this atlas will not borrow real ones for it unless Wikidata says which real place it stands for.

This page exists because that is a better answer than silence. If a real place belongs here, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.
