The 'Mythical City' Coordination Index
The Mythical City Coordination Index measures the discrepancy between a city's formal legal status and its digital existence. It tracks how many officially registered municipalities lack a basic digital footprint, specifically an active DNS record or official domain.
Data is compiled by cross-referencing official government city registers with global DNS records. A city is classified as 'digitally invisible' if no verifiable official website or local administrative portal can be located.
This index highlights the divide between administrative recognition and functional accessibility, identifying regions where local governance remains entirely offline.
