 -2241.1 York

       —2241.112 Those with a roof as well
    –2241.12 Those containing a museum dedicated to Richard III
       —2241.121 A small and rather adorably eccentric one in the city walls
       —2241.122 A large one in the city centre
       —2241.123 Basically the whole city centre is dedicated to Richard III anyway because zombie Richard III answered the summons of a rogue coven in 1980, bursting forth from his car park in Leicester to sweet-talk the locals into establishing a zombie empire across the Midlands, Northumbria and Yorkshire; ‘Northern Powerhouse’ having a very different meaning in this world
    –2241.13 Yorks that are still full of vikings
       —2241.131 Those at the start of the Great Longboat Canal

    –2241.22 New Yorks that have been destroyed in literature, film, poetry or idle musing
    –2241.23 Those in which there exists a button that will decant a vast helium reservoir into the hidden airbags of the skyscrapers, allowing them to detach from the ground and gently float about
       —2241.231 Those in which one may find gainful employment as a person who leans out of the window and nudges the other skyscrapers out of the way with a long pole, so that they do not bang into each other
       —2241.232 Those in which all the skyscrapers have floated off on holiday, leaving some odd bald patches and a jealous subway
    –2241.24 Those containing a Statue of Liberty
       —2241.241 Those additionally having Statues of Fraternity and Equality
