Habitat Groupings..

Thinking about this for years since I realized what a hamlet was..

Cottage
Villa
Croft
Hamlet
Village
Town
City
Metropolis
Megalopolis
Megaopolis
Gigalopolis
Gigaopolis


one of those is from Judge Dread.. Megaopolis.. Mega City 1. I riffed the rest.

-Let is/was Hamlet
-Ville is/was a Village
-Ton is/was a town
-Burgh is/was a county (burgh is the Scots word for county)
-Land is/was a dock for ships.
-Lin is/was a village near a river.
-Field I *think* this means it was grazing land for cattle.

"Megalopolis" is the rough state just before two or more metropolis join to become a Megaopolis..
(its also a town in Greece)

New Jersey Metropolis (cities of Jersey City, Newark, Paterson/Passaic, Hackensack and New Brunswick) and New York Metropolis's (suburbs as cities such as Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens/Long Island, The Bronx, Staten Island) being the closest I can think of to becoming/are a Megalopolis..

But since these cities are in separate states it's actually unlikely they will ever become a Megaopolis. it would be the first ever, as far as I know, Megaopolis in human history.
