Same thing here in the states.  Just think of the Cliomancer in Darwin,
Minnesota who gets a minor charge every day from the World's Largest Ball
of twine, or one in South Dakota, who can hit Wall Drug, the World's
Largest Prairie Dog, the Badlands, the place in Deadwood where Wild Bill
Hickok was shot, and, of course, Mt. Rushmore.

Gee .There will be a lot of people in this places ! do not forget the "good
old
Europa" where there is  a lot of interesting place. In fact (since I live
in
France I know well the problem), each little village has his (or more than
one)
"place of interest". Just enough to produce one minor charge, and
personnaly just
in some specifical date (anniversary, etc..) but sometimes it is more than
enough.
