Would No Communities Were Harmed apply to a Patchwork Map?

If I was a creator of a show and had a series set in a Patchwork Map (taking it beyond Artistic License – Geography), could No Communities Were Harmed still apply despite the unrealistic geography?

In this example, the show is set in a city that's very obviously Dallas, Texas, even though the name's changed and building names differ (no Dealey Plaza for example), and this No Communities Were Harmed version of Dallas shares a border with a city based on Manhattan (as elaborated on in New York City), and this city shares a border with a No Communities Were Harmed version of Parkersburg, West Virginia and then once you leave that city you enter a version of Los Angeles, before finally ending up in a stand-in for Las Vegas, and this fictional area is known as "The Five Towns".

The towns are stand-ins for the real-life ones mentioned (Dallas, Texas; Manhattan, New York; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Los Angeles, California; Las Vegas, Nevada)

Would this be No Communities Were Harmed and a Patchwork Map, plus Artistic License – Geography if this were on a work page? (I'm describing an old work of mine that nearly got to Unpublished Works before I decided it wasn't worth putting up due to Continuity Snarl issues; it had a Captain Ersatz of Daisy Johnson/Skye from Marvel's Agents of SHIELD residing in the stand-in for Manhattan.).

I'm not asking if the tropes overlap - but if it fits the tropes I've described.

Artistic License – Geography doesn't apply if the setting is fictional. It only applies if it's something that's supposed to be this Earth, and not a representative of it.

That examples does seem to fit No Communities Were Harmed. If the areas are obvious stand-ins of real places, then they fit the trope.

Patchwork Map is more about climate and terrain than cities, but it can apply if the different city parts have different climates. If you go from a Texas climate to a New York climate when you go between those areas, it fits the trope.

Mind that before adding Artistic License tropes one should know if they really apply.
