I read this description while during a cursory look through Wikipedia and liked it. It makes more sense than outlying suburbs type cities to New York. I was just wondering if Gotham City was considered within New Troy or not. But inside Jersey laugh kind of fitting, isn't it?

In Smallville New Troy is the state on the license plates of the cars from Metropolis. I find it funny (funny wonderful) that Smallville would adapt something from L&C as most of DC / Superman universe seems likes to act as if LnC never existed. (Better than Superboy, yet worse than Superman Returns on the scale. This is the vibe I got, not my opinon.) Of course, :rolleyes: Smallville's Metropolis is within a 3 hour drive of Smallville.

Okay, another question on Gotham City. Even if it doesn't have an offical state in which it is located, is there an official "county"? Also, is Wayne Manor located within GC city limits or outside of it, in the countryside?

Thank you again for all of you in the know.

Don't know what county. I have seen one map that had the shore north of the city labeled Gotham County. Wayne Manor is outside the city on the mainland and is on the last few hundred acres of what used to be many square miles of Wayne land from when England captured the place from the Dutch.

Several maps are at mapping Gotham . ON the second "No Man's Land" map, Wayne Manor is at 3 where the highway has a upside down T on the north side of the river. That article also links to a tourist map of Gotham which explains where many of the names on the map come from.
