The real-data angle makes this a first-class citizen of the real-map + DNA: **OSM maps all of it** (`amenity=fountain` · `historic=memorial` · `leisure=park/ + garden`), and the **war memorial** — the defining civic marker of exactly the AU towns we + build — is mapped in nearly every one. Real towns get their actual memorial/park/rotunda + at actual positions via the existing ODbL fetch (one more class, standing auth); synthetic + towns get a seeded civic kit (memorial at the main intersection, rotunda + gums in a + pocket park, drinking fountain by the shops); statue/rotunda meshes via the local gen + stack (hunyuan3d_mlx, CC0-equiv, the instrument-pipeline discipline).
