Hello! I'm Liza Levina, a graduate student of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Southern California. I spend my time hunting for fictional countries and found quite a lot of them. It's getting hard to manage them in doc files so I decided to create a blog -- I hope it will be easier for me to navigate them plus other people might enjoy some of the findings!
I work with fictional countries in literature, comic strips, cinema, and real life (yes, there are some real fictional countries). What unites them all is that 1) you probably never heard of them before, even though you might be a great geographist; 2) they are "normal" countries in that you won't find any magic working there. That means that Narnias and Middleearths do not concern me here.
I hope you have a pleasant read (and watch)! You'll be surprised as to how many fictional countries there are out there.
Please make sure to link my blog if you decide to copy any of the content. If you know any more fictional countries, do share!

Andraisia from So's Your Old Man is not exactly a country. However, this screenshot illustrates an important point in fictional countries studies: some of those countries seem to resist our gleaning more information about them. Sometimes it's not even possible to learn a country's name!
