ITT: post real world locations that could work in an RPG setting
firstly, the Darien gap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari%C3%A9n_Gap

>The Darién Gap is a break in the Pan-American Highway consisting of a large swath of undeveloped swampland and forest within Panama's Darién Province in Central America and the northern portion of Colombia's Chocó Department in South America. The gap begins in Yaviza, Panama and ends in Turbo, Colombia, stretching between 100 km and 160 km (60–100 miles) long.[1] Roadbuilding through this area is expensive, and the environmental cost is high. Political consensus in favor of road construction has not emerged. Consequently, there is no road connection through the Darién Gap connecting North America with South America and it is the missing link of the Pan-American Highway.


The Darien gap is a huge, undeveloped swamp jungle, full of tribess, paramilities, and druglords. It would be perfect for an RPG setting.

I lived in the Darien for a week, if anyone has questions.

>Yeah, it's a rainforest. Everything here will be wet. Everything here is humid. Hot, but cloudy enough to where sunscreen isn't an issue.
>Semi-poverty. Imagine people in tribal huts, but with cell phones and access to TV. It's easier to get access to cable than clean drinking water.
>Some places are only accessible via boat. If there's a remote village with an important NPC, the PC's better have a friend who can pilot through some pretty thick marshes.
>Columbian drug runners in the forrest, Panamanian military checkpoints are pretty common sites on what little roads exist.
>Embera-wounaanis are chill as fuck, and are the primary indigenous ethnic group. Likely uneducated/illiterate, some potentially have a few years of catholic schooling. Maybe to 2nd or 3rd grade. Shirts are optional for everyone, but public display of kneecaps is showing far too much skin. Eye contact is also rude - imagine a PC desperately trying to stare into a woman's eyes to avoid her torso, while the woman does everything else possible to redirect his eyes away from hers. They really like eating rice & chicken.
>Spanish is the language of Panama, but the natives speak Embera/Wouunani/other random tribal languages. Most villagers do not know Spanish - playing telephone between three languages can be common.
>Panama City is the opposite of all of this - Imagine an honest-to-god Cyberpunk megacity, with the rich and famous driving past homeless beggars. The government only cares about improving this single city - often at the expense of everywhere else in the country.

Literally never head about this place, I will read up on this. Interesting.
