Recurring settings have obvious advantages for screen adaptations. Some Jeeves stories were set in London; others in New York. In a BBC dramatization, they were all in London.
The colonized planet of Wunderland is one consistent setting in the Man-Kzin Wars stories.
In Munchen:
Karl-Jorge Avenue;
St. Joachim's;
the Liberation Memorial;
the Silberplatz;
Harold's Terran Bar (scroll down);
the Weiliche Astroverein.
To the North:
Skogarna, settled by Scandinavians, with its own dialect.
There will be much more than this. These details are extracted from one chapter of a single story.
Although the Liberation from kzinti occupation was barely a generation ago, it has joined Marathon and Yorktown in history. Future history will include both everyday life and worlds-changing events.

Kaor, Paul!
Shouldn't that be Karl-GEORG Avenue, not "Jorge"? My impression is that Wunderland was originally colonized by Germans.
Ad astra! Sean
Mostly by Germans, with a lot of other Central and Northern Europeans as well.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
That's my recollection as well.
Ad astra! Sean
