Esabalu is twinned with:
gollark: The obvious choice was counties or something, for which there was a convenient list on Wikipedia, which did *not* work at all.
gollark: That would require actual work to determine what "regions" are likely to have been mentioned lots in the training data.
gollark: Probably cities with distinct architecture and buildings work better.
