Yes to both. Official candidate city bids that made it to the international level of voting or consideration or whatever the process was at the time.

Shhhhhhh
ETa: our planet and moon are named so simplistic. Not to say that our moon is incorrect just how lazy were those early Astromeners.

You can get a star named after you for $19.99 so yes I think moons were taken care of a long time ago

Does the board game list only include brand-name trademarked games?

I'm realizing that I'm pretty sure I couldn't name 10 Red Sox pitchers total. Much less their top ten closers.

I think I know the name of one moon. It's either big enough or it isn't.

They probably didn't know there were other moons. Or planets, or really anything.

An "identifiable" person? Is this subjective Swampcrash now?

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Nine
You can pick anyone that is LITERALLY identified by name as long it's not a statue or some other representation. This is to avoid something like "woman churning butter in the background" or "turnpike rest area gas station attendant"

There were fewer cases of the virus back then too. I'm not saying the two are connected, but people are talking about it.
