Department of
Dubious Demarcations.
A questionable Ontario field department responsible for investigating boundaries, local history, ecological irregularities, suspicious paperwork, and anything else that looked official enough to require a clipboard.
Expeditions
Field videos, locations, fabricated lore, production notes, and the ongoing work of making real places slightly less administratively trustworthy.
02Field Reports
Written investigations, Department memoranda, essays, fiction, and dossiers published through the Stories archive.
03Maps
Real geography, questionable boundaries, episode locations, and interactive spatial layers built with actual GIS rather than decorative cartography.
04Field Guide
The real-world Pokédex layer: species discovery, citizen science, iNaturalist, regional collections, and nature exploration feeding useful observations back into the world.
05Personnel
Original characters, Department staff, cosplay, props, field uniforms, and other deeply necessary administrative infrastructure.
06The Actual Place
Real history, ecology, conservation information, sources, and context kept clearly distinguishable from the Department's considerably more dubious claims.
Reports released for civilian review.
No public reports have escaped Records yet.
Records has not cleared anything for civilian release. The first report will appear here when the paperwork mysteriously permits it.
Every case leaves a mark on the map.
As investigations accumulate, episode locations and conservation areas will gather here as interactive entries combining useful geography, sources, ecology, and story layers — not simply pins on Ontario.
Personnel files are storytelling surfaces too.
Custom characters and cosplay can live inside the Department instead of beside it: each character can have a title, jurisdiction, equipment, history, reports, photographs, and contradictory internal documentation.
The joke works better when the real place matters.
Every field location can keep a factual companion layer for real history, natural features, conservation organizations, sources, and ways to visit responsibly. Fiction gets to be ridiculous; the underlying place still deserves care.
