Fictional counties page[edit]
- The 2016 supernatural horror film The Autopsy of Jane Doe is set in Grantham County, located close to the city of Richmond.
- The Netflix drama miniseries Echoes takes place in Easton County and the county seat of Mt. Echo.
- The Playstation game series Syphon Filter has a fictional Virginia municipality by the name of Langley Virginia where the main character Gabriel Logan is from.
- The historical drama TV series The Waltons is set in Jefferson County, specifically in the fictional community of Walton's Mountain.
Here's the current section (shown above). The 3rd bullet point is vague. It does not imply whether the fictional municipality is a city or town (which is important because towns can be part of counties). According to the the Syphon Filter article, the game takes place around Washington DC. I suspect that the fictional municipality called Langley is a fictionalized version of the unincorporated community of Langley, itself part of the census-designated place McLean because Langley is where the CIA is located (and therefore a metonym). Because the aformentioned entry on the list does not specify what municipality (unincorporated communities in Virginia such as CDPs are assumed to be towns or cities), this is an ambiguous case. I deleted the bullet point, but if they assumed it was a city, it might be worth putting, though that's ultimately moot if this fictional municipality is simply assuming that a real-world unincorporated community is a municipality, as some websites refer to unincorporated places like Tysons or Reston as cities or towns (both are census-designated places).

Form of government[edit]
Should the list of counties include a form of government column? It seems Virginia has a variety of government structures for counties that may be beneficial to list and sort here. See sources here: [1] [2] --Gimelthedog (talk) 16:26, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
