Large clickable detailed world map 2.3MB with cities, longitudes and latitudes.
I am going to use an approach that may seem very narrow but actually opens up an incredibly wide range of possibilities for web community organization. First I will outline a very narrow portion of the world. I am going to limit myself solely to my time zone and treat it as if it were a geographical limitation, organizing accordingly.

Alert is a military/scientific base but is permanently populated. It is the northernmost settlement in the world (if you consider it a true settlement), when standing on the beach just north of the town you are at the northernmost beach in the world and see nothing but a frozen sea and the northpole in front of you.
In many places of the arctic, we will encounter Inuit, French and English speakers. Since Alert is a military base, the first question is, Is it Canadian?
The part of Canada that is in my time zone speaks Inuit in all of the Northern part, French in Quebec, and English/French in Ontario.
