Grinlandia is a fantasy realm which is the setting for stories by Russian writer Alexander Grin. It is implied that it exists on the real world map, but its exact location is different to pinpoint: the place itself is obviously exotic and non-European, but its inhabitants, their names and culture are vaguely Western European. Generally, it looks like Fantasy Counterpart Culture of European sea colonies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The stories are set in a heavily romanticized version of 1910s-1920s, with some references and nods towards earlier epochs, such as The Golden Age of Piracy. They feature heroic sailors and sea captains, eccentric aristocrates, scientists, idealistic young girls, criminals and elegant villains along with some elements of magic and science fiction.The stories were originally written in Russian, but some English translations are available.

Darker and Edgier: Despite his reputation as a romantic writer, Grin has several darker stories, most notably "The Gray Automobile", which is MindScrewy and has a strong flavor of Decadence. The 1987 adaptation Mister Designer took this up to eleven: it switched the setting to actual Decadent era in pre-revolutionary Russia and gave the story a decidedly horror feel.

Alternate History: The series' use of fictional geographic locations alongside with real ones and the combination of early 20 century technologies with romantic aspects of earlier epochs implies this trope.
