The landmasses look different. The names of the nations don't exist in the real world. It must be a fantasy world. Nope, it's Earth. Just different. It's very much the same planet. It orbits the same star and it has the same moon. But with different landmasses and nations, the creator of the story gets to take many liberties. The use of a Fictional Earth means that past and present real world history doesn't have to affect the story and absolutely anything can be made up. The story's nations may have real world counterparts. These worlds will usually have real world physics, but not always. The planet has to be identified as Earth at some point, otherwise you're just dealing with a Constructed World that may or may not look like Earth in some aspects. Alternate History settings that are geographically different enough may overlap with this, if the country or continent boundaries changed, especially after a traumatic event. Compare Earth All Along, where a planet seems alien at first but turns out to be a version of Earth. Contrast Earth Drift, where a setting starts as Earth but gradually becomes a fantasy world as the series goes on. Like Reality, Unless Noted is when the difference with our Earth is minimal and mostly about events and characters. Examples |

The Six Million Dollar Man is at first seemingly set in our world, mostly set in the US, and with stories set in Germany, parts of Africa, the UK, the USSR and other countries. But the episode 'Outrage in Balinderry' is not only set in a fictitious British-colonised island state suspiciously similar to Northern Ireland, but located somewhere closer to the Faroe Islands, but a map in said ep shows a completely different geographical structure including different continents! | |

The Ys series is set in a fantasy mirror of our own world and even shares the exact same geography, with it's notable differences being two moons instead of one, different names for locations like "Eresia" for Eurasia and "Afroca" for Africa, and their version of the Roman Empire seemingly lasting up to the middle ages. Also, the setting for the first two games is roughly based on a mythical city of the same name. | |

Dragon Ball's Earth is very different from ours. The world map◊ shows a huge continent looking like Chinanote not surprising considering the story was inspired by Journey to the West and Funny Animals and occasional monsters live alongside humans. It is divided into 43 sectors governed by a King of the Earth. Also, the Moon seems to have at least a thin atmosphere. | |

Downplayed in Kushiel's Legacy: there are fictional countries, but the map is almost identical to Earth's except for a few alterations thanks to more actively involved divine forces in its history. Real countries are known by different names, though. It also overlaps with Alternate History, from the fall of The Roman Empire onwards. Significantly, the equivalent of the English Channel has the islands of the Three Sisters, where the Fallen Angel Raziel is bound beneath the ocean. | |

Ace Combat is a prime example of this trope. It's Earth in every possible way except for landmasses and nations. You can even tell what real world counterparts the nations are based on. It has an Antarctica barely different from the real one, as well as landmasses resembling Greenland and New Zealand. It even has its own Pacific and Arctic Oceans. Almost all the aircraft used in the game exist in reality, aside from the fictional superplanes. | |

Valkyria Chronicles: The map of the continent of Europa maintains the general shape of real-life Europe, with almost all the borders redrawn. There are two isles to the northwest, one big and one small, just like the British isles; a peninsula extends from the south of Europa, much like Italy; the seas around the continent are marked as North Sea to the north, Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the West; Gallia is located in the Low Countries, fitting its basis of design; while the East Europan Imperial Alliance appears to encompass both German and Soviet territory, fitting its hybrid design. | |

The Grand Budapest Hotel is set in the early 1930s and mostly seems to conform to 'our' Earth in geography, technology and culture - there are references to Europe, South America, the Roman Catholic Church, Saxony and the French and German languages are both clearly spoken at various points. However the story is set in a fictional European country (Zubrowka) and notes the existence of other locations that are also either completely fictional (Zero's implied Middle Eastern or North African homeland of Aq Salim al-Jabat) or imply considerably divergent histories at some point (the "Maltese Riviera" and "Dutch Tanganyika"). | |

Marvel Universe does indeed take place on Earth, but also features a number of fictional countries, nations, and landmasses. Among these include: Wakanda, which is a technologically advanced African country that's home to Black Panther with its exact location varying between sources; Latveria, a monarchy nation ruled by Doctor Doom as his personal kingdom; and Atlantis, the mythical undersea world. | |

Steven Universe takes place on an alternate Earth with a number of subtle differences — in the US, for example, money has diamonds on it instead of Presidents' faces, and the center of the film industry is in Kansas. The equivalent of New York City is called Empire City and the equivalent of Canada is called the Great North. More importantly, the world map is quite different: part of Africa is attached to South America, and large amounts of real life landmass is instead covered by the ocean, including the majority of northern Asia (there's basically a huge water-filled crater where Russia should be). The latter is implied to be a result of the Gem Homeworld's Hostile Terraforming. The former seems much older. | |

Super Mario Bros.: In Super Mario Odyssey, Mario travels a planet that resembles Earth, but with different landmasses and kingdoms inspired by real countries. The Mushroom Kingdom (the main setting of most Super Mario Bros. games) is found on a landmass that resembles a 1-Up Mushroom. The continents resemble the Earth's at some point in history, with three looking vaguely like Pangaea, Laurasia, and Gondwanaland. There's also no land at either pole, with the landmass the Snow Kingdom is on ending close to the north pole, and the south pole being completely covered in ocean with the nearest land being thousands of miles away. | |

The world of The Wheel of Time is strongly implied to be a distant and different future Earth, as the setting has an Eternal Recurrence of seven Ages that fade into history and come anew. Thanks to the Breaking of the World, an ancient supernatural cataclysm that rearranged the continents, the maps look completely different; but there are quite a few references to Earth history and myth, as well as a few ancient artifacts that originate in present-day Earth. | |

The world of A Song of Ice and Fire is based on Earth with some key differences. For example, Westeros basically corresponds to Europe both culturally and in size, but is similar to a re-arranged map of Britain. Essos is Asia and Sothoryos is Africa. There is also a fourth continent called Ulthos, which, judging by what little description we know, may be the equivalent of Southeast Asia/Oceania. Some fans speculate that another continent corresponding to the Americas is yet to be discovered. | |

The world of Pokémon is an interesting case. It was identified as Earth in the first generation, mentioning real world events and locations in Pokedex entries and naming Kanto after the actual Kanto region of Japan. However it is geographically completely different and real world mentions were dropped from Generation II onwards. However, every region in the main series is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of a real place. The implication seems to be that the Pokémon world is a Fictional Earth that doesn't really mention the Earth part anymore. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog games takes place on Earth, but how different or similar it is to ours depends on the game: In Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Adventure 2, we can see the Earth from outer space but aren't given a good look. In the latter game, the United Federation, which seems to be a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of the United States, also appears. In Shadow the Hedgehog, the map of the Earth is briefly shown, with the planet's continents partially resembling those in real life. Although United Federation is still present, Japan is also mentioned. In Sonic Riders, a different map of Earth can be seen, with the continents completely identical to the real life ones, down to the names. In Sonic Unleashed, the Earth has completely different continents from the last two examples, which are occupied by Fantasy Counterpart Culture countries. This geography would be reused in Sonic Colors. Sonic Forces, however, uses a completely different world map, with Green Hill notably being part of a landmass instead of an island. Humans other than Eggman are mysteriously absent despite a global war going on. And as of late, Sonic Frontiers uses satellite imagery for shot of Earth in outer space, meaning it's completely identical to the real life planet, which also calls into question the exact location of Starfall Islands, the mention of United Federation, and Continuity Nods towards the games listed above. |

Warhammer: The world map is clearly based on Earth's◊, though it has a few extra islands and geographical features Earth does not, such as North America being either frozen tundra or burning desert, Africa being split in two by a mountain range, and Antarctica being a (relatively) warm wasteland populated by beastmen. In early editions, Warhammer 40,000 was set in the far future of Warhammer Fantasy, but they now exist in separate realities linked by the Warp, and 40K's Earth is now our far future. | |

More than usual in any anime like Rio -Rainbow Gate!-. This is a world with flying buildings, ghosts, sentient robots, real wizards, a family of telekinetics, and a family that control minds and probability. Additionally casino gambling is Serious Business and the general public has always had some idea that the world is a magical place, even if it's mostly rumours. | |

7th Sea: Théah is a facsimile of Earth in the 17th century from the abundance of fantasy counterparts to real-world countries to even its Significant Anagram name. | |

While almost nothing about this is indicated in its mother film (although is probably a result of Tangled being established to share its universe with Frozen, which has indicated this), Tangled: The Series takes place on an alternate Earth. A Distant Reaction Shot in the Grand Finale also shows that the series is set on a landmass that highly resembles Europe and that Corona is located where Germany would be. | |

Mega Man Battle Network: In the WWW lab in the first game, a screen of the world map indicates that the Battle Network series takes place basically on Earth◊ (in keeping with its connections to the Classic series). Battle Network 2 showed a world map in one scene◊ that looked nothing like Earth however, and introduced fictional countries. Battle Network 4 burned that bridge with a vengeance, introducing an all-new globe◊ whose landmasses only vaguely resemble our Earth's at best. Interestingly though, Spanish and English are mentioned as languages in Battle Network 3, which is well after the series established the games were set in an alternate Earth, even though Spain and England presumably do not exist in this world. |

In Shadow the Hedgehog, the map of the Earth is briefly shown, with the planet's continents partially resembling those in real life. Although United Federation is still present, Japan is also mentioned. | |

Illusion of Gaia: Despite historical landmarks from the real world existing, and certain historical figures like Columbus being mentioned, the landmasses of the world are radically different, and many of the locales are completely fictional. Subverted that it's actually a corrupted version of our Earth, and after you defeat the comet, the Earth regains its natural appearance, making this trope actually Earth All Along. The Earth in the game's Spiritual Successor, Terranigma resembles more of our own, but has different names for real world locations like Chicago being called "Nirlake", and France being called "Loire". Also, due to player choices in the game, it's possible to create an Alternate History like Bell never inventing the telephone if you lie to him about his girlfriend. |
