Easter Eggs?
I decided to do a little searching in the city lists for Easter Eggs.... From a small 10 minute search, I've found that.....

..."Hunt Valley" (The location of Firaxis) is an American city....

... the last English city is "The Mumbles" (Can I get confirmation if this is a real place, or if it is a funny place name?)

Anybody see more?

There is a Greek city named Apolyton. And the cow scenario.

It's in Wales... the town's real name is impossible to pronounce, so they simply nicknamed it "The Mumbles."
