Rename The World is an interactive global platform where you can explore the world, give real geographic places your own names, and attach stories to them. From funny inside jokes and personal memories to tributes and bold statements, every rename gives a place a new identity. Others can take over a place by offering at least twice its current valuation, making its story evolve over time. Explore, create, share, and leave your mark on the world — one place at a time.
