People and other entities who will, famously, never be residents of New Minneapolis:
Axiom Antics - banned from New Minneapolis in solidarity with survivors of the Pi disaster.
The Nested Radical is a popular coffeehouse.
The graphic novel Whatever Happened to the Nested Radical? is set entirely in The Nested Radical.
It includes references to, and illustrations of, various places, people, and events in and around New Minneapolis.
The famous Egg Tooth neighborhood is popular with thrill seekers and the characters they attract.
The neighborhood is named after the monster Egg Tooth, who once visited during a Wild Rumpus.
During his visit, Egg Tooth was struck by rumbustious lightning -- the event which allowed him to permanently escape from Where The Wild Things Are.
Things were a bit awkward, after the old Minneapolis voted to become a province of Canada.
Sorting out the new tax base situation between a nonfiction city, a nonfiction foreign nation, and a fictional city joining the nonfictional foreign nation was particularly challenging.
But most people adjusted easily enough, and pretty soon business got back to normal.
These days (March 2016) everything is fine, apart from the inevitable annual mass drownings at the River Parade.
