Planet McSkunkville · Zurich, Switzerland

In Zurich they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, letters postmarked Zurich sit in the town's welcome drawer, and The town ledger lists Zurich among friends.

Planet McSkunkville is a small green-and-gold world where every road eventually becomes Highway 75 and every sunset smells faintly of coffee and fresh paper. Its oceans are calm, its courthouses are open, and its gravity is exactly strong enough to keep a promise from floating away.

Cartographers note one impossible feature: no matter where you land, Main Street is twenty minutes away. The locals consider this a legal requirement.

Its two moons — Docket and Gavel — rise together on filing days.

Worldwide Access — Planet McSkunkville greets readers in Zurich and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
