{{Nihongo|Alimango Island|アリマゴ島|'''Arimago Island''' in the English localization}} is a small island with a fishing village consisting of around three hundred families that appears in ''[[Fate/Zero]]''. It is undeveloped, with dirt roads and only three or four old, beaten-up vehicles on the entire island. [[Father Simon]] runs a local church. Its name means "crab" in Filipino, and it comes from when the island was said to have contained a shrine to a deity of the sea. People left offerings to the deity, and it is said in folktales that a girl looking to feed her sick mother stole them and was divinely punished by being turned into a crab. It is said that those who eat crabs caught on the island will have any disease cured, after the story of the girl's mother finally recovering from her long illness. Far from the town in the jungle, there is a mansion that is said to be built next to the former location of the shrine. People of the town do not go near it due to legends also saying those who go near it too often will be cursed, so [[Norikata Emiya]] uses it to practice magecraft in secrecy. The entire population is killed by the [[Mage's Association]] and [[Holy Church]] after being turned into [[Dead Apostle|ghouls]] by [[Shirley]]. |

Alimango Island
Alimango Island (アリマゴ島, Arimago Island in the English localization?) is a small island with a fishing village consisting of around three hundred families that appears in Fate/Zero. It is undeveloped, with dirt roads and only three or four old, beaten-up vehicles on the entire island. Father Simon runs a local church. Its name means "crab" in Filipino, and it comes from when the island was said to have contained a shrine to a deity of the sea. People left offerings to the deity, and it is said in folktales that a girl looking to feed her sick mother stole them and was divinely punished by being turned into a crab. It is said that those who eat crabs caught on the island will have any disease cured, after the story of the girl's mother finally recovering from her long illness. Far from the town in the jungle, there is a mansion that is said to be built next to the former location of the shrine. People of the town do not go near it due to legends also saying those who go near it too often will be cursed, so Norikata Emiya uses it to practice magecraft in secrecy. The entire population is killed by the Mage's Association and Holy Church after being turned into ghouls by Shirley.

Europe
Germany
The Einzbern Castle is located in Germany, in a mountain district near a certain river.[1]
Romania
Bucharest
BucharestWP is the capital of Romania, formerly known as "Little Paris" during the early twentieth century. The bombs of the World War II, two earthquakes, and the megalomaniacal urban development of the dictator Nicolae CeaușescuWP destroyed many of the building of the period. While much of the beauty was lost, many old churches and historically valuable buildings from the old city can be seen travelling on the Calea Victoriei WP cutting through the city from south to north. As of the Great Holy Grail War, there is a series of murders that causes one newspaper to make a joking title of "The Return of Jack the Ripper?"
Considered another wound carved into the country by the Ceaușescu regime are the "children of Ceaușescu", the destructive legacy of the regime born from its policies. Romania once outlawed contraceptives and abortions, and had attempted to force all families to have at least five children. Many youths were unable to be raised and ended up as street children who delved into lives of crime and human trafficking. While the dictatorship ended in revolution, those lives who were born could not be returned, and they were devoured and scattered by criminal organizations and people of power, surviving by turning from the prey to the predators.
It has nearly six hundred years of history, and it possesses many spiritually powerful leylines suitable for summoning Servants. Using the Stavropoleos Church, the necromancer Kairi Sisigou is best able to summon his Servant.
Sighisoara
SighisoaraWP is the birthplace of Vlad III, and the closet city to Trifas outside of Yggdmillennia's influence. Closer than Bucharest, it remains a good location for the Red Faction during the Great Holy Grail War until the completion of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. It was formed in the 12th century by a settlement of Saxons, and it is a rare city that displays strong vestiges of the Middle Ages, rare for even within Europe. The Red Faction uses the Church on the Hill as their base initially. It is a high-up church with a famous dome-roofed staircase said to contain one hundred and seventy-two steps.
Trifas
Trifas (トゥリファス?) is a city in Transylvania, Romania and main setting of Fate/Apocrypha. It is a small city north of Sighisoara, the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, that has acted as the base of the Yggdmillennia clan since the Middle Ages. Its citadel and part of the city are surrounded by walls built to defend against the invasion of the Turks during the Middle Ages, and they are still perfectly preserved in the modern day. Many of the city's buildings have been repeatedly repaired and reconstructed since they were built in the Middle ages, making them no less valuable than those in Sighisoara.
The symbol of the city is a large castle upon a small hill, the the Fortress of Millennia. The castle has remained under the ownership of Yggdmillennia and not once changed hands through the invasion of the Ottoman Turks, the outbreak of the Black Death, and the explosions of modern war. Despite the hardships that have befallen the city, the fortress and the clan still stand strong. They also employ menial homunculi to perform various chores and patrol the castle while wielding halberds.
The city has a population of twenty thousand, and they thrive mostly around agriculture and textiles. They live in fear of those living in the castle, and though the sights inside, the patrolling soldiers unthinkable in the modern age and statues with glowing eyes, would shock people, the residents of the city would never step inside in the first place. They are forbidden from even stepping outside of their homes whenever the lights of the citadel are lit, and with the advent of the Great Holy Grail War, the lights that had been off for a long period of time are once again bright. They can only pray for the safety of their homes and continue their daily lives.
United Kingdom
Aylesbury
Aylesbury, EnglandWP is a countryside village resembling a medieval town with unmatched concrete factories. Though the land was commercially worthless, development funded by V & V Industries (V＆Vインダストリィ?) to make a band of factories, even if out of date, has made the village previously in ruin from a declining population into an industrial area. The company is owned Van-Fem of the The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, and he has used the area in order to prepare the area for the Aylesbury Valesti ritual. Though both the Mage's Association and Church are monitoring the area, all that has gone into it are legitimate funds and human labor, so they cannot act even if they know it is a farm for the Dead Apostles. So long as that human fairness holds, they cannot act until the supernatural has caused it to collapse.
While there is not a deadlock between all three groups, it can be said there is a careful balance of power. Both the Association and the Church are looking to take over the area on their own without any cooperation, so they are enemies in the conflict. The Association has more firepower than the Church, but magi are fundamentally the same type of existence as Dead Apostles. They share the same craft, but it can be said the Dead Apostles, who have reached a higher level of the supernatural, have the upper-hand against them. The Church specializes in in destroying vampires and can be considered the Ancestors' worst enemy, so they are vying for the Association to quickly overwhelm the Church.
London
The Mage’s Association current headquarters located in the Clock Tower, London.

North America
Snowfield
Snowfield (スノーフィールド?) is a suburban town in western United States that is the main setting of Fate/strange fake. North of Las Vegas, it is currently a thriving city with a population of 800,000, but it was previously an area home to a scant few indigenous peoples at the beginning of the 20th century. For over one thousand years, it had been the home of Tine Chelc's people, who protected it from settlers until the government and magi joined forces to overrun them to prepare for the False Holy Grail War. Though it was an area that had very few records before then, it rapidly began to develop as a boomtownWP seventy years ago, and the land went through a complete transformation by the time of the 21st century.
There is a vast ravine north of the city, a dense forest, unusual in such an arid area, to the west of the city, a tract of lakes and marshes east of the city, and a vast desert unfolding south of the city. It does not contain any farmland despite being surrounded by land suited for agriculture, standing out as a strange existence from its surroundings like a "cleft." It is described by some as a town with its sights set on the future, with the correct mixture of the natural and artificial.
The central district of the town appears as grand as New York or Chicago with towering buildings and a pair of six-lane causeways, the city's primary north-south and east-west arterial roads, meeting at a large scramble intersection near the city center. Both roads seem to form a crucifix from above, extending into all four of the surrounding environments. The city hall tower stands as the tallest building, the Center Park contains a fountain and is populated by families mid-day, and the Snowfield Central Hospital is a large, white building that looks like an art museum, furnished with the finest equipment in the city and various specialists.

Great Cat's Village
Great Cat's Village (グレートキャッツビレッジ?), also called GCV and the Cat Kingdom, is the mysterious, unearthly kingdom of cats, home of NEKO Spirits like Neco-Arc. It is an underground kingdom that exists both in the world and nowhere at once, said by some to be the dream of a certain mighty cat. While its size fluctuates from village to cottage to company, it is basically a village.[2] There is also a Great Cats Garden that has crocodiles.[3]
It has a single military unit, Abaddon's Beret, a self-defense force composed of Neco-Arcs specifically chosen for their uncontrollable overflowing savage nature, excellent physical ability, and unmatched intelligence. Though the envy of Neco-Arcs, they are not actually that useful in battle. Neco-Arc Chaos also has his own Dark Chaos Corps.[4]

Shapeless Isle
The Shapeless Isle (形なき島?) was the home of Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa. It was an island far beyond OceanusWP, known only to the three grey witches, the GraeaeWP. With rumors of the beautiful sisters and the monster Gorgon, many were drawn to the island. Some wished to confirm the legends of the Gorgon, some sought glory from slaying it, some were guided by an oracle's prophecy, and others equipped themselves with swords, spears, and bows and arrows to travel there without speaking of it to anyone. None of them returned or even died normally, but instead were turned to stone while alive and had their lives end in that place.

The mysterious, unearthly kingdom of cats. Also known as the GCV. An underground kingdom that is both everywhere in this world, and nowhere.

Neco Arc's killer move. J214A. She attacks horizontally by… turning into a rocket!
It seems that there may be some connection to the technique "Farewell, Ciel-sensei! Our friendship ended in the Crocodile Garden!" that appeared in Neco Arc's command list in the third character popularity poll.
Also, this is totally unrelated, but all of Neco Arc's techniques are extremely powerful. Something like the True Ancestor Beam can't be fully observed with the naked eye. Of course, this technique is no exception – its fearsome effectiveness is seriously troublesome.
Incidentally, aren't there crocodiles in the Great Cats Garden…?ワニ園に行きたいわたし【技名】

The Neco Arcs summoned by Neco Arc. The GCV's only military unit.
It is a self-defense force composed solely of specially chosen Neco Arcs whose overflowing savage nature, excellent physical ability, and unmatched intelligence cannot be controlled. These chosen few are known as Abaddon's Beret, and are the envy of all the Neco Arcs.
Of course, that's completely unrelated to its power as a technique. There is a high degree of randomness involved, so it's really only useful as a provocation.
Probably, this was done in order to faithfully translate the idea that even Neco Arc cannot control the Neco Arcs into game mechanics.
Also, recently there have been rumors swirling about a Dark Chaos Corps, but…?エリートネコ部隊【技名】
ネコアルクが召喚するネコアルクたちの事。GCVの唯一の軍事機能。
野性をたぎらせ、優れた身体能力と知性を抑えられない選ばれたネコアルクたちによる自衛部隊である。選ばれた者はネコアルクたちから羨望をこめてアバドン☆ベレーと呼ばれる。
技としての性能は論外。ランダム性が高い為、挑発としてしか使い道がない。これはネコアルクですらネコアルクを制御できない、という事を忠実にゲーム化した為だろう。
また、最近は更なる暗黒混沌部隊が組織されたというが……？
