Well, the community is called "Europe" and the post title is a clickbaity "Govt is selling land". There are many countries and governments in Europe and post titles should be informative.

Fancy a stroll along the banks of the Thames River, possibly crossing over it using Blackfriars Bridge? Or perhaps doing a little shopping in Covent Garden Market before visiting St. Paul's Cathedral?

China Nanjing, China

Definitely missed an opportunity there, Canada. Could have been twins with London, UK.
