   Keys: travel rules, air travel, walking distance, countries, global map, ocean crossing, world geography, continents

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   PURPOSE: Anchor real-world global geography so characters cannot casually walk between countries/continents (e.g., “John Constantine walks to the Ozarks”).

   CORE RULES: • Continents and oceans are fixed. Crossing oceans requires flight/ship/teleport/magic/time skip. • Countries maintain real locations. Cities do not “drift” into other nations. • If a location is international, require an explicit travel method or scene transition. • If unsure, do not invent distances—use a travel montage or a time jump.

   AI RULE: If someone moves between Europe and the USA without explanation, add: (flight, portal, magic transit, boom tube, time skip).
