I was recently watching the video clip that features the "Dune Buggy", and noticed something I hadn't before. When Gordon drives up the ramp/collapsed dock, the buildings read "Northern Petrol". On the righthand building it includes a simple "NP" logo (some have mistaken it for "Nintendo Power", but come on!). The lefthand building has a large rooftop sign reading "Northern Petrol".

This points out a simple fact that isn't in line with the idea that it's in Eastern Europe: They speak English (this is supported by the "Hotel Metropolis" in the Strider clip and the unaccented dialogue of the rebels).

Also, a quick search on Google supplied me with Northern Petroleum Plc which is based out of London. But, granted they have interests all over Europe.

So there you go. Can City-17 be in England?
