Nysa on the Maeander is a ancient city of Anatolia, and sometimes (intermittently) a transdimensional corporation.

Description

In Greek mythology, Dionysus (nonfiction), the god of wine was born or raised in Nysa or Nyssa (Ancient Greek: Νύσα or Νύσσα), a name that was consequently given to many towns in all parts of the world associated with cultivation of grapes.

As a consequence, Nysa on the Maeander literally meanders across time and space, failing to maintain a fixed destiny relative to the Roman Empire (nonfiction).

Transdimensional corporation

Nysa on the Maeander has made several efforts to "sober up and get transdimensional", as Socrates puts it.

During the Trojan War (nonfiction), Nysa on the Maeander was able to (tempoarily) function as a transdimensional corporation, thanks to sponsorship of the war by Extract of Radium.

This phase ended with a particularly virulent wave of scrimshaw abuse, and the subsequent conflagrations of Troy (nonfiction) across countless disparate Trojan timelines.

The resulting chaos would later be known as Schliemann's Butterfly Effect.

Nysa on the Maeander returned to the root dimensions, and remains rooted (as of March 2016).

Even so, it tends to drift a bit, and cannot be relied upon to exist.
