Where is Springfield?
The by-far, #1 topic to annoy people with. Asked about 10 times a month. Guaranteed to get one or more people to pop a blood vessel. Yes, we know there’s a Springfield in Illinois; yes, we know that Springfield is xx miles from Ogdenville, which was shown on a map in the Monorail episode; yes, we know Springfield is 2000 miles from Arlen, Texas; yes, we know Springfield’s postal abbreviation is NT. In the interest of not debating this point forever, the official position of this list is: The show is set in America in the very near future where, like the European Union, all state borders have been eliminated. Thus, Springfield is in the State of America. Don’t like that answer? Tough.
