Editor’s note

1. Geographical locations are often confused with the entities that are located in those places. For example, France is a country with several discontiguous geographical loctions. Metropolitan France is a geographical location in Europe. 2. Unlike the GAZ term, this term is not a reference to a place on the earth, rather it is a place on the earth.
