Where is Battle Angel Alita set?

Japanese manga series

Battle Angel Alita (1990) is not pinned on this map. Wikidata records its setting as Southwestern United States and nothing finer. It is set in low Earth orbit, which does not exist. Where the manga takes place, not where it was made: a manga is drawn and filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Why there is no pin

Wikidata records this manga as set in Southwestern United States, 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 low Earth orbit, 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.
