In Helldivers 2 there is a city on the planet Crimsica in the Draco Sector called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch II.
This references the real village in the country of Wales on the Isle of Anglesey. Famously, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the second longest one-word place name in the world, and is often simply shortened to Llanfair PG.
Its name roughly translates to: “The church of St. Mary at the pool of the white hazels near the fierce whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio of the red cave.”
The Roman numeral II at the end of the Helldivers 2 location implies that the original village no longer exists. In Helldivers lore, Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom are rendered wastelands following the Last Great War.
