<p>The thing is quite obviously fruit of immagination, creativity,
and/or delusion: there surely isn't out there such a concoction of
toll booths (<i>many of them</i>), bunkers, town halls, dams,
towers, campgrounds, etc.</p>
<p>The creator's name too, "landhahaha", is also an hint for a
probable vandalism.<br>
</p>
<p>But, yes, "there is <i>something</i> out there": Google too
report the existence of a "Pitchfork Union" POI [1] [2]. I really
don't know what that could be. My bet is on some kind of elaborate
prank, maybe even something funny, but again I'm ready to bet that
those detailed micronation's features are not to be found on the
ground.<br>
</p>
<p>And that concerns me a lot, because it is really hard not
thinking what implications events like this can have on the
reliable availability of OSM data/services. </p>

In this case they have been mapped as a 'residential area' with that name ...
The basic question is ... is that area residential?
