Heh.
This has shades of the discussion in my Macross story (Being You is Deculture) written all over it. That is, the one where we couldn't quite figure out where in Canada the SDF-1 accidentalied an entire city.
That said?
Take the whole thing with a grain of salt, because it's like what you said, Brent: This was obviously written by folks who are used to being on the *Western* edge of the Pacific Ocean, and didn't think much about the location other than going, "Yeah! Let's do this in 'Murica!"
Which means I think we can be pretty safe with disregarding that bit and not treating it as immutable canon.
So let's just put the Kaleido Stage wherever is most convenient for the purposes of telling a story, and not sweat the stuff that obviously falls under the "The Writers Didn't Do Their Homework" trope.
