Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
officially designated exclusion area around the site of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in Ukraine
🇺🇦 Ukraine · 51.3000, 30.0050
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 1 video game as set here and nothing finer. The dot sits at its centre, which is not where anything happens: it stands in for the whole area. Nothing is claimed to have been filmed at this point, and no film or series is placed this way anywhere on the atlas.
Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
