Where am I?

Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.

Today, I’m in a port city and a part of the human body. The city has flames on its coat of arms. The nearest capital city is to the SE. The country you are seeking has participated in two FIFA World Cups (one men’s, one women’s), never won an Olympic silver medal (it has won Paralympic silver medals), and has had one female president. According to Wikipedia, it is around 7% white and 25% Protestant. Both neighbouring countries have lower country calling codes. The nearest casino to my location is about 500 metres away. Closer to a river bank than a bus stop, railway, or restaurant, I’m at a T-junction that’s 970 metres from the edge of a sizeable cemetery. Said cemetery abuts a surprisingly verdant tank farm and a paintballing venue. One hundred years ago it probably would have been impossible for me to stand on this spot. The road you are seeking is named after a nearby airfield which, in turn, is named after an unlucky US aviator.

You are probably in the right place if you can see…

  1. No shops ahoy!

    I do love these. I can’t understand how they aren’t as big as Wordle and why Roman isn’t getting interviewed by the press. About 20-25 minutes.
