    Well we can't forget Eastasia, Eurasia and Oceania, courtesy of George Orwell.

    Or the Allied States of America and the Republic of Texas from Jericho. They will rise again! :D

    Where the hell is this so-called Soviet Union supposed to be in all these old movies? It's not on the map! :p

    Agrabah in Aladdin.

    And, of course, Atlantis.

    I'm almost afraid to read that list for fear I may run across a nation I actually thought existed, then I'd feel like a douche.

    How could we have left out the great power amongst the fictional nations?

    Far as I know, Genovia from Princess Diaries is not real.

    Glad to see someone mentioned Mypos. Best fictional country ever!

    You all should be ashamed of yourselves for not thinking of Caspiar.

    You can even plan a European vacation there! :techman:

    Sorry, I've got no idea what that's from. It's sort of hard to think of a fictitious country you've never heard of before.

    That language was "Gellerese"!

    Balinderry is an actual place in Northern Ireland, near Lough Neagh. The episode was supposed to refer to the "Dominion of Balinderry", in North West Europe. Except that the locals had Irish accents, dressed like French peasants and the troops patrolling the area looked like WWII era British soldiers. It didn't help that it appeared to be a dry, arid area, not unlike the US mid-west :p

    Yeah... never heard of that either.

    Hm. If I'm going to be generous, I presume they mean that Atlantis is something that some people have believed existed and presented arguments for its existence; which distinguishes it from, say, Tomania.
