Welcome to Premiseville, Fictionland, where every city has a Meaningful Name. In certain works, especially kids shows or more whimsical Speculative Fiction the City of Adventure, the place where our heroes live has a name that fits the premise, feel or ethos of the show. The city has a thematic name that describes its residents or culture. Sometimes a name is chosen against the theme of the show, which is still an example of this trope rather than a subversion because it is still using this trope but in an ironic manner. See also: Meaningful Name, Theme Naming, City of Adventure, Descriptiveville, I Don't Like the Sound of That Place. |

My Little Pony: Ponyland is a place where talking ponies live. It's featured in My Little Pony TV Specials and My Little Pony 'n Friends (though the main area is specifically Dream Valley). The Glo Friends segments from My Little Pony 'n Friends are set in Glo Land. Equestria from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Many of the town and place names are horse puns as well, such as Fillydelphia, Manehattan, and Cloudsdale (a floating city that's a play on "Clydesdale", coupling it with Flintstone Theming). |

Dimmsdale from The Fairly Oddparents, because the residents are pretty dim. Subverted in the fact that there is a Real Life Dimmsdale, in Staffordshire, England, which means "dark nook of land". Also named for founder Dale Dimm, who was pretty dim anyway. | |

The Sims The Sims 2 ships with pre-packaged towns Pleasantview (much like Pleasantville above), Strangetown (Alien Abduction and Mad Scientists) and Veronaville (based on William Shakespeare plays). Later expansions introduce other Premiseville neighborhoods with themes appropriate to the expansion's new functionality. The Sims 3 has the downloadable alternate city Riverview, which is distinguished from the default city of Sunset Valley by the big river running through it, and the pirate-themed town of Barnacle Bay. The Ambitions expansion ships with Twinbrook, which has a forked river running through it. In The Sims Medieval, you can name your own kingdom whatever you like, but the other territories in the world are Premisevilles. For example, pirates come from Aarbyville and craftsmen come from, well, Crafthole. Some are a little more subtle; adventurers come from Advorton and elves from Effenmont. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender Ba Sing Se, a heavily-fortified city, which is written in Chinese as "Perpetually Strong City". It was actually remarked upon in-show as meaning Impenetrable city: "After all, it's not called Na Sing Se. (Beat) That means penetrable city." They also have "Chin Village," whose mayor is named "Tong." |

Rapture from BioShock was supposed to be this as it represents a city not controlled by the government or religion, only the people that make it run. But those ideals were easily twisted and manipulated that caused the city to fall into ruin and its namesake is now nothing but an ironic mockery. | |

Splatoon: This series all about cephalopods that can spread and turn into ink takes place around the cities Inkopolis, located in Inkadia, and Splatsville, which is in the Splatlands. The Japanese name for Inkopolis, Haikara City, refers to the local youth's extremely customizable style (haikara/high-collar means "trendy"). Two known settlements for the octopus-like Octarians are Octo Valley and Octo Canyon. |

Cour de Cours from Pushing Daisies, which translates to "heart of hearts", where both Ned and Chuck lived in childhood. Their romance as adults is a core part of the show's premise. It's incredibly cutesy name could also refer to the incredibly cutesy architecture of the show's world, though that quirk isn't really isolated to Cour de Cours. | |

My Life as a Teenage Robot has an amusingly subtle one: Tremonton, California. It's named either for the earth-shaking events that seem to happen there on a suspiciously regular basis or for its proximity to the San Andreas Faultline. The Movie shows they built the town there when a split in the Earth open there until it stopped, and that had since had no seismic activity. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sunnydale plays the trope for irony; it sounds like a lovely pretty safe place... and is where the Hellmouth is. Not to mention that the sun is supposed to be a weakness to vampires. The area's earlier Spanish name played the trope straight: it was Boca del Infierno. | |
