Replace the text in Rule 2.6 that reads
Each Adventurer has a “Location†, which is tracked in the GNDT. Locations are limited to real-life (i.e., not fictional or mythical), existent (as of the Reference Time) locations on Earth that have their own article in the Reference Source, and have a size or area, as specified in the Reference Source, of no more than one thousand square miles. For example, Independence Hall (United States), Elvis’ Pink Cadillac, and New York City are all legitimate Locations; while Narnia, Heaven, Asia and the Library of Alexandria do not exist as legitimate Locations. If there is any dispute or controversy over whether an Adventurer’s Location is a legitimate Location, the Djinni may change that Location to any value.

As-is, the rule doesn’t state that Locations are in the gamestate Universe, so for instance DK’s decision to abolish the Prime Meridian doesn’t have any effect on whether it’s a legitimate Location.
