Description
Click any city, mountain, country, sea or whatever on a globe, propose a new name, community votes (or your proposal gets auto-accepted in a few minutes if nobody cares).It's live now and I'm genuinely curious what happens when strangers on the internet get collective control over world geography. Either it becomes something interesting or it turns into a mess of edgy jokes, stereotypes, and stuff that will make me regret this whole idea
