  Derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in boosting his ego
• Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a Lego city created in his own bedroom, predating the webcomic Sonichu
• Chris believes that CWCville actually exists, and for many years used the city as a way to "escape" from anything he does not like

• According to Sonichu 8, Chris's father, Bob Chandler, founded CWCville in 1982
• CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of Virginia, but it became part of the larger C-197 dimension when Chris started promoting the Dimensional Merge
• In 2020, Chris narrowed the "location" of the CWCville to somewhere "north to north-east" of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg, claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City
• CWCville's ZIP Code was originally 02024-1982, an unused code available for Brockton, Massachusetts, and Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in 2017
