Illinois is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 2 video games 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.

452 productions were filmed at 330 places inside Illinois rather than at Illinois itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Illinois, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
