The Foundation has identified a number of locations around the world (and beyond it) that are actively anomalous and support permanent communities. While these places would generally be given an SCP designation and evacuated, in some cases this is not possible, due to practical or political constraints. Although not all Locations of Interest are fully controlled by the Foundation, containment measures are in place to ensure that the general public remains unaware of their existence or anomalous nature.
An inhabited anomalous location designated as a Nexus permits residents to remain within it, under the supervision of the Foundation or another Group of Interest, since the anomalous properties of a Nexus generally cannot extend beyond its borders. Additionally, the Foundation has permitted the existence of a number of Free Ports, paranormal enclaves and other locations accessible only through anomalous means, within which the concealment and containment of anomalies is unnecessary. These communities are usually self-managed, with observation from the Foundation and local governments to ensure that anomalous phenomena remain within the Free Port. A number of additional Locations of Interest are known to the Foundation at this time, ranging in scale from small towns to entire countries, as well as entire alternate realities accessible from our own.

Other Location of Interest
Area Classes
As shown on the map above, anomalous locations are given one of the following classifications, based on how obvious their anomalous properties are and how likely civilians from outside the Nexus are to encounter them. For more information on Nexus definitions and properties, see this page.
Briar
Nexus features extranormal events and anomalous objects at a higher-than-normal rate. These are generally only noticeable to permanent inhabitants, requiring little or no cover-up by the Foundation.
Name derived from the Briar Patch, from the Br'er Rabbit folktales.
Asphodel
Nexus features a high frequency of extranormal events and anomalous objects. Most visitors will notice that something about this place is unusual, requiring some cover-up by the Foundation.
Name derived from the Fields of Asphodel, the afterlife in Greek Mythology.
Camelot
Anomalous activity is an integral part of the town. The Foundation must regularly perform cover-ups, and takes measures to prevent visitors, such as removing the settlement from maps of the area. Containment Facilities may be required on a case-by-case basis.
Name derived from the castle of Camelot, from the legends of King Arthur.
Shangri-La
Frequent and unpredictable anomalous activity, which the Foundation deals with as it occurs. The Foundation actively prevents civilians from entering the area. Containment facility required.
Name derived from the hidden valley of Shangri-La, from James Hilton's Lost Horizon novel.
Dunwich
The entire place is anomalous, and almost entirely cut off from the non-anomalous world. Special measures may be required to keep personnel safe. Entry and exit tightly controlled. Containment facility required.
Name derived from the insular town of Dunwich, from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
Free Port
These communities are aware of the anomalous, and make use of it in everyday life. These hubs are protected by national or international law, restricting or forbidding Foundation intervention, with law enforcement within the Nexus often performed by its own local government. While many are only accessible through anomalous means, others are simply concealed to prevent unauthorised access.
Crossroads
Anomalous location connected to one or more alternate realities in addition to our own reality. These may be alternative timelines that diverged from our own at some point in the past, or entire universes operating under different physical laws to our own. These alternate realities are distinct from so-called "pocket universes", which are also separated from baseline reality, but are significantly smaller in size.
Turing
Anomalous location existing within a computer simulation, rather than in physical space.
Named after the computer scientist and philosopher, Alan Turing.
Other Locations of Interest
A number of other inhabited anomalous locations have come to the attention of the Foundation, but are not currently categorised as a Nexus or Free Port, or may have unusual attributes resulting in a non-standard Nexus Class.
List of Nexuses
Nx-01: The Wanderers' Library
Area Class: Dunwich Crossroads
Accessible From: Baseline, Multiverse
Description: This vast extradimensional library allegedly catalogs everything that has ever been written down, containing countless books that cannot be found anywhere else, including many documenting the occult and paranormal. Although the Foundation has been aware of the Library since 1955, it has existed for much longer than that. The Library is also known as the Nexus of Worlds and the Great Library Yggdrasil due to its connection to multiple universes, with a particularly close connection to other anomalous libraries such as SCP-1726 and SCP-4001. The Nexus and the books within are maintained and protected by various inhuman entities known as Librarians. Individuals that harm the Library, its books, or its patrons are punished by transformation into one of these Librarians, serving the Library until they work off their debt. This has been the fate of a number of Foundation personnel during incursions into the Library, and so the Foundation has adopted a more diplomatic approach to this specific location. The Library is reportedly headed by an entity known as The Serpent, and serves as the base of operations for GoI-014 ("The Serpent's Hand").

Nx-02: Annwn (Formerly Avalon)
Area Class: Camelot
Accessible From: Irish Sea
Containment Facility: Site-12
Description: Known as Tír na nÓg by the Tuatha Dé Danann (Homo sapiens tumuli), and as Avalon by the Fae (Homo sapiens sidhe), Annwn is an island located in an extradimensional space. Nx-02 is populated by an unknown number of spectral entities, and is accessible only to those subject to certain oneirological triggers. Due to growing animosity between the Foundation and the ruler of Nexus, the Foundation's access to the space has now been revoked. Initially believed to have been created and governed by the Fae, recent evidence collated by the Foundation suggests the Nexus was actually originally under human governance, likely Celtic Britons. At some point, between the Roman invasion of Britain, the area was taken over by the Fae and exiled from baseline reality, becoming Nx-02. The island was later retaken by humans during the Sixth Occult War.

Nx-03: The Kingdom of Hy-Brasil
Area Class: Free Port Camelot
Accessible From: 100 km west of Ireland
Surveillance Facility: Site-03
Description: One of the Five Fae Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Hy Brasil, also known as Tír na nÓg, is a magical island nation state located on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, accessible through non-anomalous means only one day every seven years. The Nexus is governed by the Tuatha Dé Danann (Homo sapiens tumuli), an anomalous hominid subspecies native to the island, and acts as a neutral ground for many organisations to operate in, including the Foundation, although the Kingdom is also member of the Global Occult Coalition's Council of 108. The island was devastated in 1988 by the arrival of LTE-0851-Cetus and the subsequent fallout from the GOC's military response. Both High King Nuada Airgetlám VII and Crown Princess Mór-Ríoghain were killed, and much of the island's surviving population migrated to other Free Ports and paranormal enclaves. The Nexus remains, albeit significantly diminished in power, strength, and population. Reconstruction efforts are ongoing.

Nx-04: Murky Lake
Area Class: Shangri-La
Containment Facility: Site-107
Location: New Mexico, USA
Description: Murky Lake is a town that has been abandoned since 1936, before which it was notable for an unusually high rate of disappearances and other anomalous events. In addition to lacking a human population at present, wildlife, chlorophyll, music and many parts of the buildings are absent. A number of intangible humanoid figures have been sighted within the Nexus, but all attempts at communication have failed.

Nx-05: The Spiral Forest
Area Class: EMBLA1 (Crossroads)
Accessible From: Baseline, Multiverse
Surveillance Facility: Site-01
Description: Nx-05 is a large forest located in upstate [REDACTED], nearby Site-01. It is one of the smallest Nexuses on record, being only 8.3 acres of land in total. The area exhibits mild, albeit consistent non-Euclidean activity. This most often manifests in the form of its various hiking paths temporarily being subject to anomalous activity such as going upward endlessly when travelled in a certain direction, but operating normally otherwise. Nx-05 is unique compared to other Nexuses in that no other anomalous phenomena naturally forms in its confines, with all anomalies resulting from it being entirely manmade. Despite its fairly unimpressive features, Nx-05 remains the only location known to the Foundation which can be accurately studied to provide information on how the anomalous as a whole operates; equations derived from this study have provided the basis for the entirety of the Foundation’s understanding of anomalies since the organization's inception.

Nx-07: Gwag Hen y Cwn
Area Class: Asphodel
Location: Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom
Containment Facility: Site-78
Description: A small town located on an island off the southern coast of Wales. Most of its inhabitants suffer from therianthropy, or the ability to metamorphose (shapeshift) into other animals.

Nx-09: Publin
Area Class: Shangri-La
Accessible From: The Wanderer’s Library, Dublin and Lublin
Description: A pub located between the Wanderers' Library and baseline reality. Accessible from the Library, Dublin and Lublin. Popular among members of the Serpent's Hand.
Associated Articles:
Nx-11: Roadkill County
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Oregon, USA
Description: Roadkill County is one of the 37 counties in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the second-most active Nexus known to the SCP Foundation, behind Daleport and followed by Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin. Due to Roadkill County's anomalous properties, the Pacific Northwest is the most anomalous area in North America.

Nx-12: The Kingdom of Univers'Isle
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible from: Savoy, France (formerly)
Description: GoI-842 "The Kingdom of Univers'Isle" is an anomalous civilization built on a floating island in an extradimensional reality that otherwise consists of a completely empty sky. The kingdom was founded in the early 18th Century by the inhabitants of Saint-Guérin in Savoy, France, who traveled through cracks in the sky to colonize the landmass. The intervention of the Catholic Church stranded them there, causing the isolated society to develop their own identity as "Isleans". Their paratechnology eventually enabled them create interdimensional portals, resuming contact with the baseline universe, although there is tension between factions that wish for peace, and others that believe that the "Worldians" of Earth should be conquered. The Foundation is collaborating with the peace-seeking Desilist faction to prevent conflict and ensure the Kingdom of Univers'Isle remains concealed.

Nx-14: Hoiohiña
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Underneath the Guiana Shield, South America.
Containment Facility: Site-14
Description: A subterranean ecosystem located at least 40 km beneath South America, inhabited by large intelligent rodents (Rattus abissos). These rodents rely on their skill at biothaumaturgy and paraminerology for survival in their underground environment. Site-14 maintains a diplomatic relationship with these non-human inhabitants of the Nexus, prevents exploration by other groups, and cooperates with them to contain entities found deeper within the Abyss. Due to its depth, no further containment is required.

Nx-17: Boring
Area Class: Briar
Location: Oregon, USA
Containment Facility: Site-64
Description: Located southeast of Portland, Oregon, Boring's main anomaly is the increased occurrence of almost all known varieties of anomalous fauna. Additionally, Boring is headquarters to Wilson's Wildlife Solutions (WWS), an organisation concentrated on the discovery and preservation of anomalous flora and fauna. Following the establishment of the Boring Agreement, the Foundation — via Site-64 — and WWS have agreed to support each other and not to interfere in each other's operations, with WWS handling containment of most of the anomalous animals in Boring, as well as handling containment of additional low-risk anomalies from outside Boring.

Location: New Jersey, USA
Containment Facility: Site-333
Description: Designated as a Nexus after the New Jersey Rapture, in which 25 kind-hearted individuals inexplicably demanifested. Since this event, the city has gained an abnormal increase in "unfortunate" events, its background Akiva radiation has dropped to 0 and its residents have been experiencing a constant feeling of despair, hopelessness and distrust of others, as well as general apathy towards the human condition. Notably, these emotions are temporarily diminished when inside the city's various casinos, although whether this is an anomalous phenomenon or a natural reaction is a matter of debate.

The Nexus is also covered in a dense, green miasma, which does not dissipate or affect the population of Harkness. Harkness Nexus is used as a vaccine procurement and testing facility, due to the rare specimens present within the Nexus.

NX-59-VN: District Zero (Quận Không)
Area Class: Camelot
Location: Thủ Đức Sub-City, Vietnam; District One of Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam
Surveillance Facility: Site-75-VN
Description: The city-state of District Zero is one of the largest anomalous communities in Southeast Asia, and has a lengthy history as a location where various cultures and anomalous communities collide. Although the existence of NX-59-VN has long been known to the paranormal world, political upheaval in the region prevented the Foundation from conducting research and diplomatic outreach within the area until 1976. Due to the unstable nature of NX-59-VN’s entrances, for a long time only individuals with certain thaumatological or reality bending capabilities could freely access it. In 2011, the construction of the Varenne Gate3 by the Global Occult Coalition and the District Zero government, with support from the government of Vietnam, created a stable entrance to District Zero, enabling the community to become more actively involved in the outside anomalous community.

Nx-61: Irkalla
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Zagros mountains of Northern Iraq and Western Iran
Description: One of the many afterlives available to humanity, Irkalla, also known as Ir-Kalla, Irkalia, Kukku, Arali, Kigal, Kur or Erṣetu, is a vast, partially extraspatial underground cavern below the Middle East, with a single spiral staircase acting as its entrance. This cavern contains many spirits and demons from the collection of societies that once resided in pre-Islamic Mesopotamia, and is one of a number of locations that have been traditionally described as a hell. Is the ancient Babylonian and Sumerian underworld or Sumerian Netherworld. It was a dark, dreary cavern located deep below the ground, where inhabitants were believed to continue "a shadowy version of life on earth".
Irkalla was host to a large-scale slave revolt and civil war in the latter half of the 20th century, spurred on by competing interests from both America and the Soviet Union. Relations between Irkalla and the United States have eased lately, allowing an embassy and a UIU International Office to be established in its capital, but tensions still remain high. As the Tartarean Realm slowly industrializes and reaches out to the broader occult community, The United States hopes to use it as a pawn in their cold war against the Prince of Darkness, though the current regime is loath to be manipulated.

Nx-79: Gmina Cyców
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Lublin Voivodeship, Poland
Containment Facility: Site-PL-79
Description: The entire area of the Cyców commune in Poland is classified as a Nexus. As the area where the barrier separating our reality from the demonic reality layer is at its thinnest, demonic anomalies are extremely common in this region. Due to this, the Foundation has isolated the commune from the rest of civilization and established its own Site within. The headquarters of GoI-PL-079 ("Hunter Industries") are also located within this nexus.

Nx-94: Lake Huron
Area Class: Briar
Location: Ontario, Canada
Containment Facility: Site-43
Description: Nx-94 designates not a single contiguous area, but instead a series of First Nations reserves along the coast of Lake Huron where culturally-specific anomalous occurrences are common. As these occurrences typically only involve members of the related cultures, and as local populations are low, only nominal monitoring activities organized at Site-43 have been necessary thus far. Indigenous peoples carrying out their traditional rituals have successfully propitiated nearly all mythological beings within the Nexus, making their actual containment a non-issue.

Nx-97: Green Pastures
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Iowa, USA.
Description: Green Pastures, Iowa is an anomalous nexus and town whose four formerly feuding families acquired anomalous abilities in the Antebellum. When the town was founded in the 1800s, four families were feuding over a plot of land where the soil was fertile: the Schafers, the Storms, the Gardeners, and the Aldermanns. It falls under the jurisdiction of the US government according to the Hoover Mandate.

Nx-137: San Antonio del Monte
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: The Monegros Desert, Spain.
Containment Facility: Outpost-137
Description: San Antonio del Monte is a small town that got transported from the year 1632 into the year 2014, carrying within it all its inhabitants. After its appearance, it was contained as SCP-9993 and was put under the partial purview of the Temporal Anomalies Department. Due to its unstable temporality, it attracts time traveling phenomena and causes various changes in the causality and temporal perception of its inhabitants.
Since its reclassification to Nexus, it has become a meeting point for time travelers under the supervision of the Foundation's Research and Containment Team Δt.

Nx-151: Týnec nad Cenzurou
Area Class: Camelot
Location: Czech Republic, Eastern Bohemia
Description: Týnec nad Cenzurou is an anomalous town in the east of Bohemia affected by anomalous topology and a perceptual anomaly that filters a person's perception by their expectations. Because of this, the civil population of the town cannot perceive anomalies in its vicinity, and Foundation employees typically can't even find the location, as it is not in any maps. The anomalous river flowing through the town was named by Foundation researchers after a problem with describing it, as it is subject to anomalies affecting its topology and nomenclature. The location itself works as a magnet for anomalous activity and has been closely studied since 1999.

Description: Nx-173 is a small island accessible via a wooden door in Dr. Moto's office, Site-19. The door appeared somewhere in 1993 along with the disappearance of Dr. Moto. Origin and where the island is situated are unknown, but exploration of the region strongly suggests that it is located somewhere on Earth. Flora is non-anomalous, but the fauna of Nx-173 is extremely hostile.

Nx-572: Puerto Extraño
Area Class: Shangri-La
Location: Southern Argentina
Containment Facility: Site-572
Description: One of the few Nexuses of extraterrestrial origin, Puerto Extraño was created when an exploration group sent by Argentina's Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation discovered an alien terraformer in the Antarctic and brought it back to their country. The colonists themselves were physically altered by exposure to the device, and its activation created an alien atmosphere, with organisms in it being physically altered to adapt them to the light of a grey sun. Additionally, a neural network formed, allowing the sharing of emotions within the confines of the Nexus. This resulted in the voluntary self-isolation of its inhabitants.

Nx-5525: New Atlantis
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Glen Canyon Dam, Arizona, USA
Description: The Republic of New Atlantis, also known as The Restored Thalassocracy of the Peoples of the Sea, is an Atlantean Colony and a City-State located in Arizona. It was founded by a small number of Atlanteans (Homo sapiens aquarius) removed from SCP-5525, where they were maintained in stasis within an anomalous device known as the "Untimely Mirror". The Atlanteans were subsequently granted a small region of land around a reservoir by the US Government, which has been developed into a small but secluded city, concealed through techno-thaumaturgy, but heavily monitored by the United States Military. Serving as a continuation of the original Atlantis, New Atlantis has an oligarchic and thalassocratic republic, with the rulers being the Admiralty Board of Senator-Admirals, elected from the New Atlantis Senate. The relationship between Atlantean race and the United States Government is based on the Biltmore Treaty, which was established with the help of the United Nations’ Global Occult Coalition.

List of Free Ports
FP-01: Three Portlands
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Portland, Oregon, USA; Portland, Maine, USA; Isle of Portland, Dorset, England, United Kingdom
Surveillance Facility: Site-64
Description: The city-state of Three Portlands is located in its own pocket universe, connected through anomalous means to the Isle of Portland in the United Kingdom and the cities of Portland in Oregon and Maine in the USA. A haven for anartists, occultists, and parahumans, Three Portlands has a population of at least 80,000, making it one of the largest paranormal enclaves in the world. It falls under the jurisdiction of the US government according to the Hoover Mandate, severely curtailing Foundation operations within the city. Under the terms of this policy, the United States guarantees the city's independence and status as a Free Port, while assuming responsibility for its security and secrecy; execution of these duties falls to the Unusual Incidents Unit, which shares law enforcement jurisdiction with the local police.

FP-03: Eurtec
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Multiple European Cities, Europe
Description: Eurtec, the EURopean Technological Esoteric Capital, is the prime technological metropolis in the west and one of the Global Occult Coalition's most ambitious projects. The city state and paratechnological enclave was founded by the Servants of the Silicon Nornir5 in order to speed up the development of paratechnology for the purposes of their own agenda. While relatively young, it has nonetheless established a presence in the anomalous world as an important global city and the primary European Free Port.
Eurtec is where the most advanced technology in the world is developed, dominated by the towering skyscrapers, offices and paratech research divisions of multiple multinational corporations. The Golden District, located 1000 meters above sea level, houses the city's richest and most powerful residents and organizations. The section of the city 600 meters above sea level, officially designated the Upper City, operates as the de facto capital of the Council of 108, and houses both the regional Coalition headquarters and the modern Council Assembly building. However, beneath Eurtec's advanced technology and shining skyscrapers is a lower city infamous for its crime and violence, earning it the nickname of the "Blood District".

Description: As an extradimensional extension of the borough of Lichtenberg, Outer Lichtenberg is an unstable and inconsistent arrangement of apartments, factories, streets, and courtyards. Although known to both the Nazi Obskurrakorps and the paranatural wing of the Stasi, neither organisation was able to exert control over the area, and Outer Lichtenberg has remained a haven for political dissidents and anarchists. The population is loosely organised into several independent communes that grow their own food in rooftop gardens, notably including multiple members of the anartist collective Sind Wir Jetzt Cool.

FP-11: Wilheim
Area Class: Free Port
Location: Mobile
Description: The floating city-state of Wilheim, the Free Port and paranormal enclave, was founded when SCP-6268 and their following, likewise-minded sidhe and similar fae subjects, managed to take control of Wilheim, a massive aerial eigenweapon created by the German Empire between 1912 and 1917. The construction of Wilheim was mainly aided and supervised by the Mages Academy (Magickademia Germanica), and was intended to function as a weather-manipulating mobile station, but, due to several installation errors, never saw actual deployment.
Under the order of SCP-6268, Wilheim was rebuilt as a floating city-state, operating as a self-proclaimed sanctuary for paranormal beings and human subjects affiliated with the anomalous. Following several disputes between SCP-6268, the government of West Germany, the Global Occult Coalition and the Foundation, Wilheim was officially recognized as an allied and independent geopolitical entity in 1977.

FP-12: Meat Market
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Bevendean Down Nature Reserve, Brighton, BN2 4LA, United Kingdom
Description: Located in a particularly overgrown area of the nature reserve, this very unique market must be sought out by only those who know the chant. You must imagine the market, you must imagine the wares, imagine yourself there — and then offer a sacrifice before you make your wish. As you spin into a new world and land, hopefully on your feet, you realise that a crowded, dusty market surrounds you. Some forms might well be human, but many more forms are clearly not even humanoid — and known earth languages were far from the only ones spoken here. Almost whatever you wish for can be found here, in exchange for meat, preferably removed fresh as the hanging blades and cleavers adorning every market stall. And almost every meat you could ever wish for was also available there, with humans being quite the rarity, as they struggled to recall and retain the chant that let them into a place that sold 'Vincent's (slightly used) Vulvas' and 'Pied Piper's Premie Pies'. Brighton, so far, has the only entrance and exit known to the Meat Market, but is unlikely to truly be the only way in and out — so maybe someone else will stumble across the mystical place beyond the veil too, countries away, and the Meat Market will get something new.

FP-14: San Kowloon (新九龍)
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Hong Kong, China
Description: An expansive extradimensional space, formerly part of the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. The Freeport exists due to the lingering effects of SCP-184, which was utilized by an unknown party to significantly expand the internal space of buildings within the Walled City. Although these were thought to have been destroyed by the demolition of the city in 1994, it appears that significant portions survived within a pocket dimension. San Kowloon is a labyrinth of interconnected rooms, corridors and stairwells, and is now entirely controlled by Triads, who have divided up San Kowloon between them, creating twelve districts each one controlled by an organization together the "Twelve Lords of San Kowloon".
San Kowloon was born out of the need for anomalous groups to escape the War of Liberation/War against Communist Rebellion, turning to the city. Or, well, one city. Originally leaving for the city of New Cha Ling following revolts and arson, the new group took on the streets of Kowloon during its construction and either adapted to the place and turned to a life of crime, or fought against it and accomplished very little. The Architect’s meddling allowed for many other crime organizations to decide to migrate to the unsupervised zone and create a new ecosystem where drugs, gambling, and prostitution were king.
Eventually, Kowloon fell, but not before the many crime syndicates within its walls decided to keep the place, separating most of the Architect’s work and shoving it inside a pocket dimension accessed through unknown means.
Not much is known about the current San Kowloon, except that it’s divided in twelve districts, each controlled by a different organization. It’s also known that the people inside of the dimension are able to traffic with people from the outside, and vice versa. The Foundation and Global Occult Coalition are currently working on finding a way into the paranormal enclave, although all attempts so far have failed.

FP-15: The Village of Zevala
Area Class: Free Port Neutralized Free Port
Accessible From: Caleta San Roque, Chubut Province, Argentina
Description: Zevala, classified as FP-15 by the Foundation, is an independent village in the Argentine Republic. It was under Insurgency occupation in 1994 from January to June. The main anomaly of the Free Port is apparent in a local flower, Stranger-in-the-Mist, useful to enhance prophetic abilities, and in its people, the descendants of the Prophets of the Severed Hall.
FP-15, the defunct village of Zevala, Argentine Republic. FP-15 was neutralized in a conflict between the SCP Foundation and GoI-003 (the "Chaos Insurgency") in 1994. The existence of FP-15 was, and remains, unknown to the Government of Argentina. It functioned as a de facto anomalous free port, though on a very small scale, for at least one hundred years before its destruction, during which time it was also unknown to the Foundation. The circumstances of its destruction are complex, and contested.

FP-20: New Amsterdam
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Manhattan, New York, USA
Description: Named after and accessible from the former Dutch colony in south Manhattan, New Amsterdam is an artificial pocket universe and paranormal enclave established during the Paranormal Renaissance. Created under contract for a group of wealthy New York industrialists and socialites, New Amsterdam was originally founded as a tax haven. While it has since been brought under American jurisdiction by the Hoover Mandate, New Amsterdam continues to function as an exclusive community for extremely wealthy individuals behind the Veil.
Some of the oldest and most powerful families known as "Veiled Nobility" and "Veiled Royalty" of the Veiled/Anomalous World, hail from or reside in New Amsterdam, where they are perfectly positioned to manipulate mundane and paranormal affairs while still being free to openly indulge in anomalous interests and activities. The main New York offices of Marshall, Carter & Dark are located in New Amsterdam, and it is suspected that at least one Foundation Overseer maintains a residence in the enclave.

Description: Ai'gazar-En, also known as City of the Accursed, is an anomalous city-state founded in 2022 by a group of survivors from Universe-ZL/018b, one of the first universes conquered by Rea Utis-per during the Crisis. This initial community, led by a man named Sajid Inturmann, faced many hardships due to the inherent anomalies within SCP-8023, but they were also able to harness these anomalies and use them to their benefit. Today Ai'gazar-En is permanently inhabited by hundreds to thousands of people at any given time, mostly multiversal refugees, however the exact overall number of citizens has never been counted. The local atmosphere is breathable, albeit with some difficulty, as it contains slightly less oxygen than humans from most universes are accustomed to.

FP-26: The Kingdom of Avalon
Area Class: Free Port Neutralized
Accessible From: United Kingdom, Europe, Otherworld
Description: One of the Five Fae Kingdoms, The Kingdom of Avalon, also known as New Avalon. Once a thriving hub for Fae societies, the Sixth Occult War and the establishment of the Veil led to the significant weakening of the nomenclative narrative spells that held Avalon together. This eventually led to its full deconceptualization and disappearance from baseline reality in 1907, forcing most of its citizens to seek refuge in Three Portlands, with the help of the British Occult Service. Although in the modern day, Avalon has been gone for over a century, the influence of its culture can still be seen throughout most of the paranormal world. Reconstruction efforts are ongoing.
The destruction of Avalon resulted in a cultural and political cleavage amongst the survivors. The majority of the Sídhe, including the royal family, resettled in the Outer Hebrides and established the realm of New Avalon; however, a sizable population of Sídhe, driven by anti-royal sentiment, refused to settle in New Avalon, with most instead opting to reside in Three Portlands. The royalists in New Avalon are known as the Seelie, while the anti-royalists in Three Portlands call themselves the Unseelie.

FP-32: Fernafaun
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Ireland; The Kingdom of Hy-Brasil
Surveillance Facility: Site-32
Description: Fernafaun is a large pocket dimension, taking the form of a large, heavily forested island, which is home to a number of small communities, alongside the city and namesake of the Free Port at its centre. Predominantly populated by members of several Fae subspecies, the island is home to a number of anomalous flora and fauna previously thought to be extinct, and several previously undiscovered species.
The residents of Fernafaun make their homes within nature, utilising thaumaturgy to reshape the earth and plant-life of the island to fit similar purposes to buildings, bridges and lampposts. Residents believe that artificial structures may damage the essence of the island and, with the sole exception of a small coastal area set aside for a permanent Foundation facility, no truly man-made structures exist on the island.

Description: The Isle of Fata Morgana, SCP-3903 is an extradimensional location accessible only originally to SCP-3903-A instances, Faeries or "Reincarnated Fae" turned into Changelings known as "Otherkin" who have been reborn as humans. It appears as a mirage on the ocean horizon under specific conditions: a full moon, complete darkness and the sun is completely gone. SCP-3903-A individuals can access the Isle by skipping enough stones which would create a bridge made of circular silver discs with each bounce and form a continuous bridge.
Once on the Isle, they enter a realm between worlds, the homeland of the Seelie race, a Fae species native to the realm. The World is governed by The Seelie Court of Fata Morgana, although the Kingdom is also member of the Global Occult Coalition's Council of 108. The city is ruled by Queen Titania, Monarch of the Summer Court of the Fae and Ruler of the Seelie Court.
It is inhabited by various mythological and magical creatures, including fairies, elves, nymphs, Otherkin, and more. The inhabitants combine technology and magic, using "Tech-Magic" to create unique devices and amenities.

Description: New Cha Ling is a Free Port located inside a pocket dimension, officially classified as part of the Kwun Tong District of Hong Kong, with residents permitted to secretly elect a representative to the City Council. Although originally created as an autonomous squatter settlement, New Cha Ling was discovered by the "Zero Team" of the Royal Hong Kong Police in 1961, and was placed under their jurisdiction. Following the transfer of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China in 1997, the Zero Team was reorganised into the "Cha Ling Police Station", limiting the scope of their paranormal investigations to within New Cha Ling. Although the population is only around 1,500 people, the pocket dimension serves as a haven for anomalous individuals, including refugees and fugitives from outside Hong Kong.

FP-67: Other London
Area Class: Exoterrestrial Free Port
Accessible From: London, UK; London, Ontario, Canada; 8837 London (Asteroid)
Description: Hollowed-out asteroid 8837 London is home to mankind's first extraterrestrial colony. Accessible through Ways linked to England and Canada, this "Other London" was established in the Victorian era, gradually developing into a mining town and penal labor camp. Abandoned by the Allies during the Seventh Occult War, surviving residents organized their own People's Council, which rebelled against the GOC's attempts to retake the station. After seven long years, an agreement was reached and Other London was finally recognized as an autonomous community.
Per the Kitchener Accords of 1953, GOC-affiliated normalcy protection agencies are allowed in Other London, but their enforcement powers are very limited. This makes the colony a popular hiding spot for anahuman refugees, paracriminals, spies and militants — provided that they contribute to the common good somehow. Those who don't are likely to be judged and "made unwelcome" by the community.

FP-71: Ireta K'éri
Area Class: Free Port Neutralized
Location: Mexico
Description: A former paranormal enclave, this Mexican town defied both drug cartels and government corruption through a revival of ancient traditions and theurgic practices, particularly through tribute to the Purépecha sun deity Curicaueri. The success of the town forced both the Mexican government and the Foundation to recognize its autonomy as a Paranormal Free Port. However, this recognition was short-lived, as Ireta K'éri was subsequently destroyed.
Reporting by the Fifth Wandsman of Elysium exposed a Mexican government conspiracy to hire the Valravn Corporation to destroy Ireta K'éri and massacre its residents. The Foundation was suspected of involvement in the plot, but no evidence was found to support this allegation. Some of the surviving members of the Ireta K'éri community moved to FP-72, the miniature town of Ireta Sapi. Reconstruction efforts are ongoing.

FP-72: Ireta Sapi
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Michoacán, Mexico
Description: SCP-7269 designates an anomalous 30 x 30 x 30 meter area located near Pátzcuaro, Michoacán. Humans, vertebrate animals, and human-made objects will shrink gradually upon entering the area, and grow back to their original size when exiting it. Taking advantage of this property, Las Viboras, a left-wing guerrilla group with connections to the Serpent's Hand, built a miniature town inside the area, as the successor to the recently destroyed paranormal enclave of Ireta K'éri (formerly FP-71).
The existence of the settlement of Ireta Sapi initially raised security concerns, due to it providing a safe haven for anomalous fugitives pursued by both the Foundation and the Mexican government. However, reporting by the Wandsmen as well as diffusion of information through FP-99 (The Net) gained Ireta Sapi considerable support from the international anomalous community, including the Manna Charitable Foundation and Wilson's Wildlife Solutions, as well as other Free Ports and paranormal enclaves, particularly Three Portlands. Ireta Sapi has been granted provisional Free Port status by the Foundation, allowing it to continue to operate as an autonomous community.

Adytum
Location: Northern Urals, Western Siberia, Russia (Formerly)
Description: Adytum7 was the capital of the ancient Kalmaktama Empire (Adi-um Empire), and is believed to have been located in Western Siberia, now part of Russia. The empire was established in 1,800 BCE by a successful rebellion against the Daevite civilisation, led by a man known as Grand Karcist Ion. For the next 800 years the city flourished as the center of a new civilization, with grand structures built from organic material through the practice of carnomancy. However, after an ancient Occult War between the Kalmaktama Empire and various Mediterranean states, including the Mekhanites, Adytum disappeared from baseline reality along with Grand Karcist Ion, resulting in the collapse of the Kalmaktama civilization and the dispersal of a Sarkic diaspora throughout the world.
The current location and status of Adytum are unclear. Minimal archeological evidence for its existence has been found, although given the organic nature of Sarkic structures and tools, this is not unexpected. Various Sarkic sects believe that Adytum still exists somewhere in the void outside the universe, and some accounts suggest it may still be accessible. Multiple Proto-Sarkic sources claim that the city was deliberately removed from baseline reality, although it is unclear if this was intended to protect the city from invaders, or to prevent something within the city from entering into our reality. Several neo-Sarkic sects are actively working toward the rediscovery and return of Adytum, an event that would represent a severe disruption to normalcy, and is to be prevented at all costs.

Adytite Republic of Polynesia
Location: Southeastern Polynesia
Surveillance Facility: Site-04
Description: SCP-4036 is a small unitary theocratic republic located in an archipelago in the southeastern region of Polynesia, 300 km in radius and 100,000 km2 in area. SCP-4036's citizens refer to it as The Adytite Republic of Polynesia. It was previously under the autocratic rule of PoI-432 ("Norman Taylor") from 1857-1862 before his assassination by Foundation-backed groups in the region. Prior to this, SCP-4036 was highly militaristic, combining Industrial Age technology with biological weaponry to create a mobilized military. SCP-4036 had controlled around 30% of Polynesia, with the majority of its holdings in sparsely populated locations. Current authorities of SCP-4036 have disavowed its founder, PoI-432, and previous imperialist ambitions.
The Adytite Republic of Polynesia a small state located in around 300 islands in southeastern Polynesia and designated as SCP-4036. Its citizens descended from the original Sarkites who were outcast from the Empire and relocated in Polynesia, and presently was mixed with various ethnicities, including Japanese, and were originally organized as tribes. Although Sarkicism is the state religion, there are Christian and Muslim minorities which were persecuted despite freedom of religion being allowed. The society was primarily rural, with urban areas comprised of concrete to biological buildings, and the economy revolved around agriculture, manufacturing, and tobacco farming. The government was divided in three branches executive, legislative, and judicial, with the legislative branch being comprised of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Karcist Council, the executive branch was made up a President elected through votes, while the judicial was made up of the Supreme Court of the Republic. Despite being mostly Proto-Sarkic, the Republic embraced modern technology and combined it with biological machinery.

Amoni-Ram
Location: Southern Arabian Desert
Description: SCP-001 is the ancient Mekhanite city of Amoni-Ram, ruined and abandoned around 2600 BCE. The city is concealed within an extradimensional "bubble", preventing any individual without prior knowledge of its location from finding it. Although referred to in the Quran as "Iram of the Pillars", the location of the city was not identified until directions to it were provided by SCP-1867, leading to its rediscovery by a Foundation expedition.
The leaders of this expedition, Doctor Robert Aram and Doctor Hedvig Nussbaum, subsequently went rogue, relocating the city through anomalous means to prevent further Foundation access. For more information on the religious movement led by Robert Aram (AKA Robert Bumaro), refer to Foundation files on the Church of the Broken God.

The Third Antarctic Empire
Accessible From: Queen Alexandra Mountain range, Antarctica
Surveillance Facilities: Site-1483 (Alpha, Beta, Gamma)
Description: A small crevasse in a remote region of Antarctica leads to Universe B-10208-Alpha-1483, an alternate reality in which Antarctica is a more temperate region inhabited by sapient hominids known as Homo antarcticus. The majority of Homo antarcticus, known as “The Summer Court”, are visually similar to baseline humanity, but additional subspecies such as "The Black Court" have many more anatomical and physiological differences. This universe's level of technological advancement is roughly equivalent to our own, with more advanced nuclear, geothermal, and solar power, but more primitive communication and aerospace technologies. The continent is unified under the Third Antarctic Empire, a matriarchal imperialist monarchy founded in 1526 CE. The Foundation is currently engaged in establishing a diplomatic relationship with the Empire, facilitating cross-cultural exchange of knowledge and technology.

Chugwater
Location: Wyoming, USA
Surveillance Facility: Site-78
Description: A rural town with an area of only 3.06 square miles, with an estimated population of 300. Foundation interest in Chugwater began when it was discovered that its residents were more likely to accept anomalous activity as a part of baseline normalcy compared to average, leading its local site to adopt a more lenient strategy of containment around Chugwater's many anomalous happenings.
The cause of Chugwater's apparent draw for anomalous entities, features, and parafauna has yet to be determined, and its status as a Nexus is currently pending.

Confederate Island Countries of Phantom
Accessible From: Baseline, Multiverse
Description: The Confederate Island Countries of Phantom (CICP) is a federated nation of islands that exist in a different world. The member islands existed in our world until around the 14th to the 16th century, but relocated through anomalous means to another world, in part to avoid investigation and colonization by the great powers of the time. This resulted in the disappearance of a number of so-called "phantom islands", previously documented on nautical charts but unable to be relocated by later expeditions. In the world of the CICP, there are a group of unusual items called "relics", and especially powerful items are called with the initials of T or 丁 and are used for the defense of the member islands. The movement of the member islands out of this world was also made possible by relics, said to have been given by a paranormal civilization known as Thule. Thule is said to have disappeared after the formation of the CICP, and no details of it are known to the inhabitants of the member islands. Travel between our reality and the world of the CICP remains possible, and has been the source of a number of anomalies, some of them dangerous and destructive.

New Finnfolkaheem
Location: Mobile
Description: SCP-4700 is the designation assigned to several large-scale submersible vehicles under the joint Foundation-Finnfolk command of Operation HIGH TIDE. Currently, only SCP-4700-1 is complete, and is referred to by the Finnfolk as Finnfolkaheem, or alternatively as Guð-Bani (The God-Slayer). It consists of two components: SCP-4700-1-A, a 5 km wide paratechnological "hermit-crab" armed with advanced weapons systems and concealment technology, and SCP-4700-1-B, a crystalline shell containing a vast extradimensional space. A series of nested cylinders have been constructed inside SCP-4700-1-B, 60 km long and 60 km in diameter, creating multiple environments intended for habitation by the Finnfolk, a species of scaled amphibious hominids.
At time of discovery SCP-4700-1-B was overrun by hostile anomalous entities, including SCP-3456. Control over the location was reestablished by the combined efforts of the Foundation and the Finnfolk. Under the terms of the Foundation-Finnfolk Cooperative Agreement, the Finnfolk (Homo aqueous) have been granted permanent asylum aboard SCP-4700-1, and it is currently the largest known Finnfolk settlement.

The Noösphere
Location: Conceptual
Description: The Noösphere is the conceptual space consisting of the totality of human knowledge and thought, from specific ideas to more abstract concepts. Although originally theorized by thinkers outside the Veil, the Foundation has proved its existence through its interaction with various anomalies, particularly those relating to the field of memetics. Although the Noösphere is not a physical location, a number of entities and organizations reside within it.
Although every human mind is a constituent part of the Noösphere, the conceptual space can usually only be "explored" through dreaming, or other states of altered consciousness. While the use of anomalous means enables the Noösphere to be altered or even physically entered, any direct intervention into the realm of collective human consciousness risks significant consequences, potentially affecting every human on the planet.

Hydra's Spine
Accessible from: [REDACTED]
Surveillance Facility: Site-93
Description: SCP-2344, also known as "The Hydra’s Spine," is an expansive extradimensional network of underground tunnels, connecting together doorways leading to other planets and realities. The majority of these tunnels are of uniform appearance, passing through smooth dirt, although other appearances have been observed. Entry through a doorway connected to the network can be facilitated by physical contact with at least 7 grams of biological material from a member of the genus Gallus (Chicken), or local equivalent. Exploration is ongoing, including the establishment of outposts for resupply and diplomatic relations, but is complicated by the fact that many doorways connect to the Wanderer's Library.

"Infinite" Ikea
Description: SCP-3008-1 is an extradimensional space of potentially infinite volume, resembling an IKEA store and located within a building previously owned and operated by the Swedish furniture retailer. It is inhabited by an unknown number of trapped humans, as well as by faceless entities dressed as IKEA employees (SCP-3008-2). Although harmless at times corresponding to the original store's opening hours, these entities exhibit violent hostility during periods when the store would be closed. The Foundation prevents further entry and amnesticises any individual that manages to leave, although escape is infrequent due to the labyrinthine layout of the extradimensional store.

Paramax
Description: Paramax is a maximum security prison for paranormal criminals. Although built with Foundation and Global Occult Coalition assistance, it is operated as a United States Penitentiary by the FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit, holding paracriminals from across North America for the duration of their sentences. The prison was built on a slab of granite suspended in an artificial orphan universe half a mile in diameter, and is only accessible by temporary ways created using thaumatology. Through the use of reality anchors, anti-occult sigils and psionic dampeners, the prison can contain the majority of humanoid anomalies, with specialized countermeasures enabling the maximum security wing to hold even the most powerful mages, reality benders and demigods. Although many attempts have been made, no prisoner has ever successfully escaped from Paramax.

The mountainous land is surrounded by freshwater, with the central peak of Mount Kakura hosting the resident mountain goddess. Most of the population lives in the town of Samuto, on the eastern shore of the landmass. A southwestern area known as Īhatōv was originally the dreamscape of the Japanese fiction author Kenji Miyazawa, but merged with Samuto following the death of its creator.

Undervegas
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; The Fourth Circle of Hell
Surveillance Facility: Site-666
Description: SCP-7666 is a region of space in which the city of Las Vegas overlaps with the Fourth Circle of Hell, the domain of greed. While the Foundation's actions in 1992 were able to anchor Las Vegas to baseline reality, Las Vegas and Hell continue to influence each other. This has resulted in a region of the Fourth Circle resembling a distorted and exaggerated version of Las Vegas, and has also enabled a number of Tartarean-class demonic entities to cross over from this demonic metropolis into Las Vegas. These entities are drawn towards and draw power from alcohol use, sexual intercourse, and gambling, and so it has been deemed impossible to fully exclude them from Las Vegas. Instead, containment of Undervegas involves cooperation with and employment of these Tartarean Entities, to ensure that the general public remains unaware of their presence within the city.
Undervegas is mostly populated by demons of all seven classical sins (i.e. Lust, Greed, Pride, etc.) and is controlled by seven Pit Bosses that each represent one of the seven sins and one of seven estates. The city of Undervegas is split into seven districts or known as estates, each representing a cardinal sin with each estate being controlled by the most powerful demon in that area or at that time, otherwise known as a 'Pit Boss'. The Fourth Estate, or the Moneypit, is the largest of all seven estates which is controlled by Ba'al, the pit boss of that estate.

UnLondon
Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Description: SCP-1678 is a reconstruction of the British city of London, located 1 kilometer underground and constructed entirely in a Victorian style. While it is currently only inhabited by a number of bio-mechanical constructs, it appears to have been constructed through anomalous means to serve as a shelter for survivors of an XK-class end-of-the-world event. The suitability of the location as a disaster shelter is currently being assessed by the Foundation, although it is far from being an ideal option.

Republic of West Korea
Location: Yellow Sea, East Asia
Description: The Republic of West Korea is a nation formerly situated on a landmass in the Yellow Sea, west of and presumably connected to the Korean peninsula. Following an engineered reality-altering event, the entirety of the country and its geographical boundaries were displaced from consensus reality, leaving behind only SCP-5345. Analysis of documents recovered from SCP-5345 corroborates the existence of a competent national normalcy organization, the West Korean Ministry of Abnormal Affairs, which was primarily responsible for the nation's disappearance.
While it is possible to access the Republic of West Korea by traversing to its current plane of existence — believed to be one of many potential afterlives — or vice versa, the presence of unidentified hostile entities haunting the nation's extraplanar territory have prompted the Foundation's current policy of non-invasive monitoring. There are currently no proposals to make contact with the Republic of West Korea, or restore it to baseline reality.
