Username Rules for Geographic Locations
City names, country names, states, and notable locations that platforms often reserve for official regional accounts.
Why These Usernames Are Reserved
Geographic usernames like @newyork or @paris are prime real estate. Official city tourism boards, news outlets, and government agencies want them. Platforms reserve major geographic terms to allocate them strategically — either to official entities, as premium handles, or to prevent confusion. The user @california should probably be the State of California, not a random person.
