Medina, Oh
United States
North America
Earth
Solar System
Orion Spur
Perseus Arm
Milky Way Galaxy
Local Supergroup
Universe
Here, for your convenience, is a map of the the local terrain:

What's funny to me is that Buckethead saw fit to include, in his address, "Universe".

In which case, we'd need to specify which universe it was going to. Do you know how hard it would be to explain that you never got the Visa bill because it went to Asgard instead of your house? Or having a collection agency from the Third Transverse Realm of the Elders crawling up your ass for something...?
