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 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
Hubs of commerce and living, accessible only through anomalous means. 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.
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-00: Consensus Reality (Formerly Nx-7243)
Area Class: Ohanna ENTIRE (Crossroads)
Accessible From: Baseline, Multiverse
Surveillance Facility: Outpost-7243
Description: The "Prime Universe" or "Nexus-00" designates consensus reality: all that which is observably, measurably extant and compatible with our universe. This includes any other extrauniversal space which is tethered to, or interfaces with, our reality in a coherent fashion. Any region which can successfully be referenced within consensus reality is, itself, an extension of consensus reality, and therefore comprises Nexus-00. Nexus-00 is of course not a single contiguous, continuous physical surface. It incorporates various physically-disconnected locales which are at least informationally-adjacent to consensus reality. However, it has been evidenced to Our Foundation that the manifold of our local universe (Nexus-00-A) also possesses points and/or boundaries of informational discontinuity. These discontinuities are not to be confused with embedded pocket-universes (ie. a black hole's interior), nor regions of non-existence, nor extreme antimemetic influence, nor local breakdown of conventional physics, nor hazardous nomenclative influence; all such regions can still be referenced, however circuitously, within the manifold of Nexus-00.

Nx-01: The Wanderers' Library
Area Class: Dunwich Crossroads
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..

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, Known as Tír na nÓg, The Kingdom of Hy Brasil 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, significantly diminished in power, strength, and population, although 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, chlorophyl, 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.
Associated Articles:
Nx-CN-08: Danxia Wanling Dongtian
Area Class: Shangri-La Briar
Location: Magu Mountain, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi, China
Description: A non-euclidean space with antimemetic properties, accessible only by performing a series of Taoist rituals. The Nexus itself is a small valley that used to serve as the base of a once prosperous Taoist sect known as the Beidi Qiyuan Sect,2 who built numerous structures within the Nexus in an ancient Chinese architectural style. Notably, the sky above the Nexus is filled with glowing cinnabar-colored clouds, and multiple extinct or anomalous altered wildlife have been observed inside. Nx-CN-08 is currently occupied by members of the Global Occult Coalition, preventing further exploration by the Foundation.
Associated Articles:
Nx-09: Publin
Area Class: Shangri-La
Accessible From: Wanderer 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-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.

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 Gate4 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: Crossroads
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, 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.

Accessible via numerous Ways within the Patagonia region of South America. SCP-6623 is a two-tiered city, organised into numerous hub areas. The lower tier is mostly residential areas, consisting of typical 17th-century Spanish architecture as well as small farms. Due to the quantity of farms, most replacing typical plazas within buildings, it is assumed much of this city's food source was gained through subsistence farming. The city's upper-tier largely consists of intact governmental buildings, schools, marketplaces, and libraries, in addition to a large central building. This building appears to be the focal piece of the city, dwarfing all other buildings on the upper tier. Member of The Seven Cities of Gold.

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.

Area Class: Dunwich
Accessible from: Japan
Surveillance Facility: Site-50
Description: Once known as SCP-6979-1, Mamonokai was a dimensional mirror of Japan, where the Mamono, a type of Yokai entity lived. The Mamono were once formless entities that gained form and names thanks to the folktales of Japan that they inspired, becoming a cycle that fed both the anomalous world of Japan as well as the one in Mamonokai. Following the Meiji Restoration, Mamonokai was invaded and used by the IJAMEA in order to create the Yokai Battalion, the group murdering all opposition and enslaving the remains. Over 90% of Mamonokai’s population was murdered or removed from the area, and the place was left to rot. Following the discovery of the Kuchisake-Onna, Mamonokai was revitalized, and a town was built inside of it for the residence of anomalous entities and the flourishing of an anomalous society that would benefit Site-50 and the Japanese Branch of the Foundation in general, the once destroyed place becoming a Nexus. While some survivors have accepted the move, others still resent the Japanese for crimes committed by the Empire of Japan.

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.

Description: One of the Five Fae Kingdoms. 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.

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, although 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 FP-01 (Three Portlands).

FP-57: Little Havana
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Multiple locations in the Caribbean
Description: Little Havana (La Pequeña Habana), also known as "Habanita", "Habanados", or "La Que Tiene Libertad" (LQTL, She Who Has Freedom), is an independent island city-state and paranormal enclave. It is located in a self-contained pocket universe, accessible through Ways located in and around southern Florida and the Caribbean islands. The town was run by the Chicago Rum Runners until 1982, and the paracriminal syndicate maintains a presence in the city to this day. Little Havana is the largest paranormal enclave in the Caribbean, containing two universities as well as the Royal Palm Hotel, a resort run by Marshall, Carter & Dark. Due to tensions with the Cuban government, the Foundation has been unable to get the inhabitants of the Nexus to sign the Treaty on Free Anomalous Communities.

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: Open Free Port Neutralized
Accessible From: 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 deitiy 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, although reconstruction efforts are ongoing.

FP-72: Ireta Sapi
Area Class: Open Free Port (provisional)
Accessible From: Michoacán, Mexico
Description: SCP-7269 designates as 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 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 existance of the settlment 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 Wandsman as well as diffusion of information through FP-99 (The Net) gained Ireta Sapi considerable support from the international anomalous community, including the Manna Charitative 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.

FP-260: Zeta-01
Area Class: Exoterrestrial Free Port15
Accessible From: The Kuiper Belt, Outer Solar System
Description: Is an extradimensional city-state with entrances strewn throughout the cosmos with a massive extraterrestrial population. The locale has picked up hundreds of groups and entities, ranging from the evacuees of war-torn star systems to groups of wandering tradescreatures. Dozens of layers segment the interior, containing ranges of atmospheres and compositions to accommodate a range of species. The main entrance within the Solar System is in the Kuiper Belt, though others exist.
Since the 2040s the Foundation has managed extraterrestrial immigration from Zeta-01 into the solar system. All travel is directed through Transit Compound Naught-11, built into the cavern walls encompassing Zeta-01, and exits via Way at the Red Zeta Kuiper Belt outpost. From there ships distribute the arrivals throughout inner system areas. On occasion, some are recruited into the Foundation.
Marshall, Carter & Dark, has a heavy influence, not directly impacting the communities there but rather enlisting them for aid. How much alien tech they've attained this way is unclear.

Adytum
Location: Northern Urals, Western Siberia, Russia (Formerly)
Description: Adytum16 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, lead 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, incuding the Mekhanites, Adytum disappeared from the 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.

The Kingdom of Alagadda
Accessible From: London, England, United Kingdom
Description: Although an entrance located in the Tower of London is contained as part of SCP-2264, the extradimensional city-state of Alagadda is not controlled by the Foundation, but is instead ruled by a powerful reality-bending entity known as the Hanged King. The are many other entrances to Alagadda, some connecting to universes other than our own. Within the city itself, architecture is non-euclidean, the direction of gravity is variable, and the only colors that occur are black, white, yellow, and red. Expeditions into Alagadda have also reported the replacement of all clothing with costumes appropriate for a masquerade ball, the inability to bring back any objects, and difficulty in estimating the passage of time. Further exploration has been put on hold, following violent opposition from the city's ruler.

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 lead 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

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 island", 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
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.

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.

Description: "Shigastan" is an anomalous territory where multiple parallel universes overlap, enabling the movement of objects and individuals between them. In some of these universes, Shigastan is a non-anomalous republic known of by the general public; in others it has a long history of alchemy and is known only to the anomalous community, while in others Shigastan does not exist, although traces of its existence remain. Investigation into the origin of the anomalous phenomena associated with Shigastan is still ongoing, but there is a suspected connection to the "Saiga Factions", a Group of Interest extensively involved in movement between universes.

[REDACTED PER PROTOCOL 4000-ESHU]
Warning: This extradimensional location as well as all entities and landmarks within it are Eshu Class nomenclative hazards. They may not be referred to by any name, title, or designation. Descriptions may be used instead, but must be varied to avoid repetition. For further information, refer to the relevant Special Containment Procedures.
Description: This Location of Interest is accessible by performing Procedure 4000-Halloway in any suitable location, transporting the subject to an unusual forest that can only be safely traversed by following a single dirt path. The nameless woods do not correspond to linear space, and the route of the track that must be followed is different for each expedition, and can loop back on itself without intersecting. This unnamed space is inhabited by a number of sapient anomalous entities of variable appearance. Most can be interacted with safely as long as 4000-SEP precautions are followed, most notably the requirement to never give any inhabitant of the tree-lined region a name or consistent descriptor.

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 corroborate 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.
