Even if you put in a town, it wouldn't even always narrow it down!
Let's say that I lived in Amsterdam.
Would that be the capital of the Netherlands?
Or that island near Spitsbergen, or in the Indian Ocean?
Or maybe even in the US (California, Georgia, Idah, Misssouri, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virigina all have an Amsterdam).
Canada and South-Afrika could also be valid.
Naturally, my town is known all over the world (from Japan to the US, they come here!)
