With the method I use every type of location gets the same amount of nesting (and asterisks). Differentiating the two types of location (two countries, or two planets) can help the reader of the article see the scale of these locations.

If you use:
 * Earth
 * New York City
 * Chandilar

It allows the reader to easily realize Chandilar is a different location from Earth.

By using:


 * New York City
 * Avengers Tower
 * San Francisco
 * Stark Island
 * Berlin
 * Chandilar

It could give the impression Chandilar is on the same "level" as New York City or Berlin, like it was a city of Earth instead of an entirely different planet.

Adding the countries in an appearance list from a comic where its events are contained in two different countries also helps the reader easily realize the action takes place in two different countries. It can also be helpful, considering there are a couple of cities in the world that share name with another in the other side of the globe.
