But, sometimes research isn't even (that) neccesary. If it's something like America, a lot of people from other countries already know a lot about it. Plus, Western countries are often similar to each other.

This is how you get something like a person in Kansas taking an hour to drive to NYC. >_>


That made me laugh. If actually know the geography of certain countries very well. I have a strange and sick fascination with it. All that time on Google, Wikipedia and Google Earth was interesting.

I think a writer shouldn't just stick to one place and time period, anyway. That's what a vulgar little hack does. Look at Stephen King, and all those stories set in Maine. He seems terrified of writing something other than America in general, except in his more science fictiony or fantastical stuff. I would be surprised if he could even find certain major countries, like Japan or Spain on a map.
