Why this word is great
EPEROPOLIS — [Noun] A city-system on a continental scale, an immense, contiguous urban fabric that subsumes a significant landmass. From Ancient Greek ἤπειρος (ḗpeiros, "landmass, continent") + -polis ("city"). Unlike a "megalopolis," which denotes a chain of merged metropolitan areas, or an "ecumenopolis," which envisions a planetary city, an eperopolis is the staggering, tangible interim—a continent reconfigured as a single, seamless urban organism. It is the unbroken sodium-vapor glow visible from orbit where a continent should be dark; it is the highway that unspools for days with exits numbered in the thousands; it is the hum of a single administrative grid governing the weather and dreams of a billion souls. We have built not a place, but a condition.
