Most of Andino Andina takes place in a tiny (fictional) mountain town called Cordóba in the Andes mountains. The name came from a brand of coffee I like, I just moved the accent to change the pronunciation :)

This would be a simple answer for the month if I was only doing GC as a whole, but I think I want to also ponder why the focus districts are what they are. But first: GC. Galas Castoll was kind of a vibes-pondered name back in 2021-ish(?) meant to loosely mean “Great Castle.”

This was likely not the original name of the first settlements that became it, but one that was born out of it gradually consuming neighboring smaller settlements into a larger, reinforced amalgamation. Because yeah, it kind of became something frighteningly great.

Ashbury Heights: this is the name of one of my favorite music groups and I wanted to make a nod to them because it’s also got that perfect kind of neighborhood/subdivision kind of name. In universe, it’s probably named after Some Guy/Gal/Pal with the surname Ashbury.

I am a fan of vibes-based naming. That's a cool meaning for such a big city.

Mine has a name that I've been using already, so tapping out for today.

Is there any history behind the name (either out or in universe)? That's more of what the question is about. 🙂‍↕️
