Where did the Cell Games take place? And where is Japan?

[Warmmedown]

Was it near West City or South City? How far is Ginger Town from West City and South City?

Where is Japan? Dagon (member here) said Roshi said "[something] in all of Japan". Roshi lives on a little island. Is that Japan? Lol. Goku, Oolong and Chi Chi all seem to be related to China, maybe Krillin too. Yamcha is from the desert and I'm guessing there's no desert like that in Japan (not looked it up. But the biggest desert in the UK is a pebble beach). King Fury talks and there's no talking dogs in Japan. I guess Ninja Murasaki is Japanese and he lived in Suno's village - is that Japan?
Japan and China don't seem to have any cities. There's just West and South City, plus Ginger Town. Everywhere else is villages. It's like Akira Toriyama made everywhere else old style (China, Japan, India, Native America) and the USA-inspired areas modern. I wonder if he thought of doing that on purpose, as a method of blending historical with modern. There's no Tokyo or Hong Kong.

WHAT

I stand corrected (this is why you can't assume. Fucking unpredictable Earth).

Yeah in the first Broly movie, Roshi cheered for Krillin's singing, saying "Best in all of Japan!"

Also the English language exists, not just from English loan words, but from an episode of the Great Saiyaman Saga where Gohan is in English class learning the English language. This point is lost in the English dub, so they interpreted it as English literature class.

That means somehow England exists I guess.

I suppose English could just exist as the language of America/America-inspired areas in AT's world.

My guess is in DB there's somehow a universal language, but there are old regional languages like English, Japanese, Namekian, Freeza's and Saiyan, that have fallen out of daily use (maybe the universal one is based on Japanese in-universe, or that's unintended and just how it seems due to AT being Japanese and only knowing Japanese wordplay and other language-based cultural elements (since language influences thought)).

The Japanese won the race war in AT's world, lol.

The richest family in Dragon World are American (except Vegeta who is obviously Japanese).
