Property Data Automation
What kind of GIS data automation can benefit a County Property Appraiser if any? Is it true that most developers have to submit some form of electronic documentation of their surveyed land? i understand that most survey data will not line up with hand digitized GIS data from ages past. If there was some form of automation with built-in spatial intelligence to assist a mapper to include the survey, would that not greatly improve the productivity of the county mapper?
I am very interested in creating some tools as a python toolbox and maybe convert that into some Oracle Spatial utilities for use in larger organizations. I am of the mind set that if a solid base line dataset can be made available and agreed upon by the local agency then why couldn't a system accept geometry from nearly any GIS source and perform spatial tests based on the agency's business rules to assist in the keeping the tax information up-to-date.
Just a thought and something I am actually working on for a state agency. I will keep thinking out loud until something sticks...

Possible Fictional Mapping Project Sites
As a side project with some spare time, the thought crossed my mind to see if any (recent) digital data or maps existed for fictional places. After some mild internet research it was found that many cartographers, engineers and gamers alike have dottled with the idea of creating such data but found it too labor and time intensive.
I am here to say I am expecting to climb this mountain to achieve the insurmountable. I have created a list of 10 fictional locations to be considered as candidates for creating digital data for use in any modern GIS package. I am willing to accept other locations not on my list and would appreciate comments assigning your priority to see the data faster.
