Never Land	comment	What happens when Never Grew Up affects an entire setting. This is where an entire area, often an Adventure Town, is entirely populated and governed by children. They might actually be children, or they might actually be Really 700 Years Old, but they will always at least look like little kids. The trope name, which comes from the name of the Magical Land in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, is something of a misnomer, since being in Neverland didn't actually stop anyone from growing older, though it works that way in many adaptations. Sister Trope to Lady Land, where most of the inhabitants are adults, just monogender. Not to be confused with the game developer Neverland. Examples

Never Land / int_610a28dd	comment	Peter Pan: Unlike the novel and the play, Neverland actually does prevent you from aging. This is most prominent in the sequel Return To Neverland where Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and Captain Hook's pirate crew all remain unchanged in age despite Wendy growing up as a mother with her own daughter in London. Peter and the Lost Boys pretty much rule Neverland (alongside the Indians, but the less said, the better) while their adult pirate adversaries anchor off-shore on the Jolly Roger.

Never Land / int_9a7088bc	comment	The Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Miri" contains a fairly dark example: A planet of long-lived, unaging children who sicken and die upon reaching long-delayed adolescence. The same principle was the basis for the New Zealand After the End kids drama The Tribe.

Never Land / int_ae050a9f	comment	The Kokiri Forest area in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Interestingly, it's never revealed why the the Kokiri are immortal, if it's due to all the fairies that congregate there, or if it's because of the mysterious protection of the Deku Tree. (The implication in the sequel Wind Waker is that the wooden Koroks are what the Kokiri transformed into after the Great Flood.)

Never Land / int_b36b839d	comment	Hook: Neverland, like most adaptations, is depicted as an island where aging simply doesn't happen. Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys that stayed on Neverland haven't aged a day while Peter Pan grew up as a father in London after deciding to stay and marry Wendy's granddaughter, Moria. The Lost Boys are depicted as a tribe heavily influenced by 80s and 90s slangs and culture, and headed by Peter's successor Rufio. The Lost Boys have been at war with the pirates led by Captain Hook, who has managed to established a pirate colony at the coast in Peter's absence, and their rule with grown-ups is "All grown-ups are pirates... we kill pirates."

Never Land / int_bb444181	comment	Tales of the Questor features this with the elves - due to a goof by a now-reviled elven king (who wanted his people to be able not to die of old age and apparently went to a Literal Genie for his wish) elves are perpetually young - but not long-lived. They only live to about twenty or so, and then die of 'old age'. The result is that most of the elven territories are inhabited by half-wild children. To make things even worse, it's implied that, as a result, their civilization has gone from being able to match the humans or even the Sidhe to something out of Lord of the Flies. Half-elves, although longer-lived, still have much briefer lifespans than humans or Raccoonan - they only get anywhere from ten to twenty years more. There is allegedly an artifact out there somewhere that can fix the problem, but it's missing so it looks like our hero Quentyn has another item to keep an eye out for in his grand quest.

Never Land / int_e4732abc	comment	The Stargate Atlantis episode "Childhood's End" features a set of villages populated entirely by children (and young adults) because they commit ritual suicide upon turning 24. This is revealed to be the result of an Ancient setting up a forcefield on the planet to protect them from the Wraith, but because the shield was only so big they turned to Population Control.
