We have others floating suggestions of putting a stub in for every
city, town, village, and perhaps hamlet everywhere in the world.
Those are being taken positively and seriously.  I hesitate to guess
how many million stubs that will end up being.

I am not going to extend the schools argument to the whole rest of the
world.  I would assume that other english-speaking nations would want
equal inclusion, (UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc).  That's going to
less than double the potential number of school stubs.
