Talk:List of fictional countries on the Earth

They missed Antegria.

In this article. They mention several times the countries from the game Papers, Please , however. Although they mentioned it a few times. The country of Antegria is missing. Unfortunately, I know little about the country, lesser so how to edit this page without destroying it accidentally. So if someone could help on that, it’d b great.

Can we add a map of all of these

Unfortunately no. Not all of these countries have a published map. some of may not even have a map created for them.PAper GOL (talk) 12:22, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

should the countries sourced from 'appearing lots of times in discord' be considered fancruft?

looks like an ongoing edit war is happening over several fic. countries that appear to be from some sort of niche model UN hosted on a discord chat. would this be considered fancruft? Spider Gwen from Spider Gwen (talk) 06:05, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Removed (again), something that a random person made up on Discord obviously has no place in this article or anywhere on Wikipedia. DanCherek (talk) 05:02, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Discworld on the earth as we know it?

I don't think the Discworld locations belong in this list, as they are not "on the surface of the earth as we know it" but on "a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle" (quote from the Wikipedia article on Discworld). 2A0A:A546:BEAA:0:AD10:811:B0C3:D92D (talk) 14:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Israel is on this list for some reason

It should probably be taken off 2600:8800:7286:2400:80F0:82CA:3695:2B57 (talk) 15:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Should fictional US Native American reservations be included? And should Nation of Hawaii from "Hawaii Five-0" be included?

Hi. I am wondering on two matters. I'm including them into one thread because they kinda connected. So, about the first thing. Should Native American reservations in the US be included? According to Wikipedia "Indian reservation is an area of land held and governed by a U.S. federal government-recognized Native American tribal nation, whose government is semi-sovereign, subject to regulations passed by the United States Congress and administered by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, and not to the U.S. state government in which it is located". Which kinda sounds like depending territory not fully within a country. And this list already includes a few fictional dependencies and even micronations. And as such I was wondering if Indian reservations should be included as well.

And about second part of my question. I includ it here because it inspired this whole topic. The episode "Ka Laina Ma Ke One" of the Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series) features fictional entity of the Nation of Hawaii. It is described as sovereign land outside the state jurisdiction. It is a small community with its own government and border guard. The way they talk about it in the episode makes me think that it is treated as if it has the status of Native reservation (though it isn't really said directly in the show). As such, I'm wondering if it deserves to be included on this list or not.

Also, btw, I think in the episode they use the flag for this entity, but kind find any pictures online. If someone could find some pictures/screenshots of it, I would be greatfull, as I'm trying to add svg images of fictional flags to this article.

Well, this text to quite long. If you read all of this, thank you :) Hope to hear other's options. Artemis Andromeda (talk) 16:15, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Should Ambrosia from Billy Liar be on the list?

Hi, I have removed Ambrosia from Billy Liar from the list. The country in the book and subsequent media is just made up in stories/games made by titular child character, and not an actual state existing within the fictional universe of the book. Do you think it should be added back to the list? Artemis Andromeda (talk) 17:31, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Kaiserreich Mod

Hi, is this "Kaiserreich" mod considered to be a "published work of fiction"? I think these additions, especially with these possible copyrighted flags, are questionable. --Enyavar (talk) 20:20, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Kaisserreich is a public mod for the video game Hearts of Iron 4. I dont believe the flags are copyright protected. The mod itself has many written sections detailing the various events and history of the kaiserreich world so i do believe it is a published work of fiction, i could be wrong though LuckTheWolf (talk) 13:49, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Making flags of fictional countries

Hi. A few months ago, I have made an effort to catalogue flags (and other symbols) of countries featured on this list, in order to later make their SVG versions to upload here. However, that's a lot of flags, and I don't have free time to work on them unfortunately. Thus, I thought to post the list here, so if anyone is interested in making some flags, they have a handy list of them. Also, feel free to add more picturs to the list if you find symbols of other fictional countries (just please don't remove anything without consulting me first).

Should countries made up by YouTubers be included here?

Hi. I have noticed that there are quite a few countries that were made up by YouTubers, that are included on the list. It's mainly done by Geography Now, which is prominent geography channel. But there are also a few entires, which where done by some other YouTubers that I'm not really familiar with, but non of them seem to have even an article on Wikipedia, so I don't think they entires would be notable enough to be on this list. Should we delete some or all of those countries from the list? Artemis Andromeda (talk) 01:40, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Deleting fanmade content such as Hearts of Iron 4 mods, etc

Hi. I am considering if stuff like countries from Hearts of Iron 4 mods should be deleted ammong a few other things. I think there should be set a specific guidelines on which works qualify to be included in the list. In my opinion they should generally be officially published works, so books, films, tv series, video games, etc. Meanwhile, mods for video game can very much be considered unnoficial fan fiction.

And please don't misunderstand me, I do not mean any disrepct to either modder communites or fan fictio writers, as I respect the dedication that both of those require. But, I do belive they should not be counted as official media, and as such, should not be included here. Especially when, it is hard to decide where to draw the line. There are countless mods for HOI4, and who is too say, when will we stop adding countries from more and more obscure modes.

Atlantis

Since the definition at the top of this list states: "Fictional works describe all the countries in the following list as located somewhere on the surface of the Earth as we know it – as opposed to underground, inside the planet, on another world, or during a different "age" of the planet with a different physical geography." shouldn't Atlantis, which supposedly (fictionally) used to exist but was then submerged be deleted? It doesn't fit the definition, even though it might be the first imaginary country (or island or continent) that might pop into people's minds. Does anyone object to its deletion? WordwizardW (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Well, from my point of view, Atlantis really never existed but fictionally it was a state/island within the the same age of the Planet (Plato gives no date but it is clear that in his fiction is in the same state as Egypt) and it would be considered as a fictional equivalent to real Isola Ferdinandea.

So from my view, it should survive
