Where is World War Z set?

2019 third-person shooter video game

World War Z — 7 real places Wikipedia files it under as its setting, in the United States, South Korea, Palestine, Japan, Italy, Vatican City, Russia. Wikidata’s own statement stops at the country, so this is a category rather than a statement, and it is labelled that way below. 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.

Places per Wikipedia — setting categories

Wikipedia’s setting categories list 7 places. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

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.

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.
