Ruritania	comment	Ruritania is a generic name for any archetypal fictional country located in Central Europe or the Balkans (mostly anywhere east of Germany and west of Russia). This country is characterized by its small size, backward or quirky customs, and forests full of Savage Wolves and bears. It is often the home of the Funny Foreigner. The name comes from Anthony Hope's 1894 novel The Prisoner of Zenda, and the concept originated about the same time; the idea itself was at least partially inspired by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was popularly (and inaccurately, for the most part) regarded by Western Europeans as an incompetent backwater. This thinking spurred an entire genre, known as the Ruritanian Romance (which is derived from Chivalric Romance, not the love story meaning of Romance). At that time and in most early 20th century depictions, Ruritania had a royal house. The King actually did something, the Prince was dashing, the Princess was dazzling, and the headgear was quite frankly ridiculous. The kingdom was forever being schemed against by a lot of dastardly usurpers or anarchists, and was a source of tension amongst the Great Powers. That last bit was unfortunately true, with Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire to an extent, playing the real-life role. Although it is worth noting that where most examples of this trope are set in the Balkans or Eastern Europe, the original Ruritania was wedged between Germany and Bohemia and had a Germanic-style culture. Between the wars, the typical Ruritania became slightly less primitive. Wolves, bears, and superstitious peasants still abounded, but automobiles had been introduced and the army now had tanks and planes, with which it prepared a bloody revenge on its neighbours. The royals were still around, if a bit less powerful and wealthy than before, their robes a bit threadbare, but are now being schemed against by even more dastardly fascists and communists. When WWII rolled around, Ruritania was likely occupied by the Germans or was possibly itself an Axis power. In either case, brave Ruritanian partisans equipped with formidable beards, old WWI-era guns and Improvised Weapons kept up a heroic struggle against tyranny without forgetting their true enemy — the treacherous village on the other side of the valley. After the war, many Ruritanias became Commie Land and continued to be a lurking place for Dirty Communists, either Soviet-backed parts of the Iron Curtain or home-grown. With the coming of Hole in Flag revolutions, Ruritania has pretty much reverted to what it started with; ludicrous hair, ethnic strife, poverty, and backwardness. The most noticeable changes are that the monarchy is (usually) gone, replaced by a mock democratic republic run by some unsavoury generals, ex-communist strongmen, or corrupt bajillionaires who made a profit off the privatization waves that came with re-establishing a market economy, while the Great Powers are now acting through NATO or the UN. Everyone still seems to hate their neighbours, the anarchists may still be around, or they may have mutated into terrorists or plain old gangsters. In recent years, they would have to deal with refugees from Syria or a Qurac substitute, and the citizens will either welcome them with open arms or close their borders. Nonetheless, nationalists will spring up causing ruckus all over the country, with fears of a Eurabia not felt since the Ottoman days. With any luck, contemporary Ruritania might be a part of the EU, causing more trouble for its finances than Greece, Spain, and Ireland taken together — and in any case, the only international attention Ruritania seems to get occurs during the Eurovision Song Contest, which it wins frequently and handily thanks to votes from the Ruritanian guest workers omnipresent in rich Western European countries. If a place shows some of the characteristics of Ruritania, but is also full of vampires in old castles, werewolves, Mad Scientists in crumbling mansions, and other Fantasy or Horror genre tropes, you've strayed over the border into Ãœberwald. We hope you brought some garlic and don't leave the hotel room at night. Tourists who venture into Ruritania who have their wallets or luggage stolen will find that the police are ineffective and have out-of-date gear and uniforms. Even after the clueless junior officer types the report with a 1960s typewriter â€” maybe a dusty beige box running Windows 95 if they're in a really touristy area â€” the police will be mostly focused on the pointless filling in and stamping of additional forms. In a nod to their former Soviet bloc history, police and border guards may wear surplus greatcoats and carry old AK-style assault rifles. Oftentimes, The Old Country and the Quirky Neighbour Country is a Ruritania or an Uberwald. Compare with Toros y Flamenco, Spaghetti and Gondolas, Commie Land, Oktoberfest, Kaiserreich, Yodel Land, Ãœberwald and Glorious Mother Russia, which are theme-park versions of other parts of Southern, Central and Eastern Europe. Banana Republic, Bulungi, Qurac, Countrystan, and Tropical Island Adventure are similar Latin American, sub-Saharan African, North African/Middle Eastern, South and Central Asian, and Caribbean/Oceanian/Southeast Asian settings, respectively.

Ruritania / int_148f217e	comment	Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek features a character named Yanni who is a skiier from a country called "Fredonia". Not much is learned of Fredonia, but one can guess that it is an Eastern Europe or possibly former Soviet-union state from his accent. For a series that usually tries to set itself within the real world, it really stands out to see an entirely fictional country implied to exist. This was likely justified in that Yanni is the game's culprit, who was bombing to attempt to mine for Uranium on orders of his government. Given the political motivations for his actions, Her Interactive probably did not want to point fingers at any particular real-world government nor did they want to make it an even more dated game by setting it pre 1990s and have him be a soviet spy.

The last of which happened so often that a Running Gag was the Thembrian Air Force never had any actual bullets for shooting down enemy aircraft and would ineffectively wail away with whatever they did have, including bathtubs and lunch meat.

Parts of the country are filled with pine forests and log houses, others are deserts and jungles. The Big Bad is explicitly Romanian but married the former king, who has the very Spanish-sounding name Enrico Chivaldori. The inhabitants all speak English, but their names and accents vary between American, Spanish, German, and vaguely East European with no rhyme or reason whatsoever.

Its flag◊ is a red-white-blue tricolor (only vertical, like the French or Romania flag) with an eagle at the center. Generally the country is also notably more backward, with a restive population hostile towards the Avengers and the USA in general. It appears to be a mashup between the twins' comic book home country of Transia and the nation of Slorenia which Ultron massacred. Its capital is called Novi Grad, which in real life is the name of a city in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ruritania / int_33dd1d90	comment	Half-Life 2 is set in what appears to have been at one time a former Soviet state. No word has been given on the place's true location, and judging by the accents of all the NPCs you meet there, none of them are from there (seeing that many of them are forcibly relocated on a regular basis to hinder La RÃ©sistance) The only true native seems to be Father Grigori. Strangely though, the gas pumps around City 17 are labeled in Swedish. City 17, while not acknowledged to be anywhere specific within the game, is modeled after Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria and the Art Director's hometown. The plaza in particular is almost identical (besides the Combine locks, checkpoints, cameras, and sense of Orwellian tyranny, of course). The Overwatch Nexus◊ is clearly based on the Serbian Parliament building◊. The car wrecks are distinctively eastern Bloc, like the trabant. A background detail in Half-Life 2: Episode One practically confirms City 17 as Riga, Latvia. There is a map showing City 17 with a river called the Daugava flowing through it. This is the name of a real river that flows through... you guessed it, Riga. There are also other bits of evidence. The skyline of Riga resembles City 17's, City 17 is coastal and borders a sea (Riga is the only coastal city that the Daugava flows through), the lettering on most signs is Russian suggesting an ex-Soviet country, and there's also occasionally Swedish lettering, suggesting that City 17 is not too far away from Sweden (Latvia is a stone's throw away from Sweden, and hosts many Swedish businesses). Finally, there's numerous restaurants with signs that translate to "CafÃ© Baltic", which would match Riga's location in one of the Baltic States.

Ruritania / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: The Durmstrang Institute of Magic possibly exists in a Ruritania with Eastern European and Germanic overtones. It's never stated exactly where it's located. One student explicitly hails from Bulgaria, while the headmaster and another student have Russian names. Former student Gellert Grindelwald has a Hungarian first name and German surname. The name "Durmstrang" is a fairly obvious play on the German phrase "Sturm und Drang." According to the Manual, JRK "thinks" (but isn't certain; the location is very secretive, you know) Durmstrang is actually in Norway or Sweden, which fits very well with Viktor Krum's description of the school. Then again, a later Pottermore map places the school in either Russian Karelia or the Baltic countries. Fans (particularly from Eastern Europe) have presumed that if there was a wizarding counterpart of important geopolitical events like WWI and WWII, there must have been one of the Cold War. If that were true, a school in a Western country full of Eastern European students wouldn't make sense, so it must be located in Eastern Europe instead.

They're also an entire nation of idiots, who have animals in their government and fight wars over handedness (as in, left vs. right). There is also the occasional mention of the neighboring country of North Elbonia, which is just like Elbonia but with an even worse government that is downright evil instead of merely stupid. Incidentally, the strips which introduced Elbonia described it as an Eastern European country that had recently changed from communism to capitalism (this was written around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union). This backstory appears to have been Retconned away in subsequent strips.

Supervillain Lord Paramount took it over during the chaos following the fall of the Iron Curtain and crowned himself Prince of the country. Wallachia is a real place, nowadays a geographic region of Romania; it was formed as a principality (an independent nation ruled by a prince) in the 14th century, and was the home of Vlad the Impaler. It is explained in passing that the fictional country was carved off of Romania through a mix of political machinations and strong-arm tactics, and only overlaps the historical Wallachia in a bit of its southern territory.

The Empire of Zubrowka quickly falls due to government and military incompetence, endures a short-lived but imperious occupation, becomes the Republic of Zubrowka, and is overtaken by a Communist regime in the 1940s. By the modern day, the former Republic of Zubrowka is a quiet Alpine backwater. Zubrowka itself was designed as a representation of pre-WWI Austro-Hungary, with Lutz, its capital city, intended to be Vienna, Prague, and Budapest "all rolled into one". Hence, it's closer to the original (i.e. Germanic or "Habsburg-influenced") concept of the Trope Namer than many other examples.

Ruritania / int_62570927	comment	The Marvel Universe has several, most notably Doctor Doom's homeland of Latveria. Depictions of Latveria itself run the whole gamut described above, from 19th-century throwback to violence-torn post-Commie Land. Doom's own proximity to the country seems to influence this; when he's in residence, it tends toward the primitive. Doom being Doom, he may well have a Medieval Stasis beam in his castle. Latveria's next-door neighbor Symkaria, which exists mostly as a base for the Sablinova family's assassin company, the Wild Pack. They hold annual diplomatic dinners. In 21st-century comics, Symkaria and Latveria are constantly on the edge of war with each other. Slorenia, which was invaded and obliterated by Ultron. Vorozheika, a former Soviet republic. When last seen it was ruled by rogue Eternal Druig, although its status since Druig returned to the Eternal fold is not known. Nightcrawler once rescued a woman named Judith Rassendyll, who turned out to be the queen of Ruritania (Uncanny X-Men #204). To some extent, the portrayal of real Central and Eastern European countries in Marvel comics can verge on this â€” it can be only a small step from Oktoberfest to Ruritania. Germany, apart from Berlin, for instance is generally portrayed in older Marvel comics as a mostly rural place rife with superstitious villagers and sinister looming medieval castles. Giant-Size X-Men #1, for example, opens in the village of Winzeldorf that "has hardly changed over the centuries", apparently to such an extent that they haven't even installed street lighting. Culturally, the place where Mystique gave birth to Nightcrawler, lorded over by a local baron, resembles part of prewar Europe. Pre-Franco-German War, that is.

Ruritania / int_69d15cc0	comment	The Marvel Cinematic Universe has Sokovia, a tiny fictional Balkan nation with HYDRA operations, and home to Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. It's first depicted in Avengers: Age of Ultron, as a fairly obvious copy of Serbia, perhaps a break-off territory equivalent to Kosovo but populated by ethnic Serbians; its name is a cross between Kosovo and Serbia, all the signs are in Serbian Cyrillic, the buildings are possessing of an architectural mix of toned-down European-style facades with concrete buildings, and per Scarlet Witch's backstory it experienced civil war sometime in the mid to late '90s. Its flag◊ is a red-white-blue tricolor (only vertical, like the French or Romania flag) with an eagle at the center. Generally the country is also notably more backward, with a restive population hostile towards the Avengers and the USA in general. It appears to be a mashup between the twins' comic book home country of Transia and the nation of Slorenia which Ultron massacred. Its capital is called Novi Grad, which in real life is the name of a city in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Civil War, a common dish in Sokovia is stated to be chicken paprikash, which is a Hungarian dish that's also very popular in the Serbian region of Vojvodina owing to the multicultural history of the region (which historically had a large Hungarian minority). Also in Civil War, it's noted that Zemo comes from Sokovia, where he was a colonel in the "EKO Scorpion black ops unit", which operated during an unknown conflict in Sokovia and apparently behaved quite brutally. Scorpion was also the name of a Serb black ops unit during the Yugoslav Wars, involved in war crimes in Bosnia. WandaVision: A Cutaway Gag to Pietro and Wanda as children shows Sokovia as an exaggerated stereotype of life on the other side of the Iron Curtain: a little old lady gives the kids a dead fish as a Halloween treat while gunfire can be heard in the distance. Two men try to disassemble a car for parts. Wanda notes that she doesn't remember Sokovia like that. Since this Pietro is a fake, she's probably right. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier reveals Sokovia had nobility, of which Helmut Zemo was a part of. It's also confirmed that following the events of Age of Ultron, Sokovia as a nation was dissolved and absorbed by neighboring countries.

Syldavia is an atypically detailed version of Ruritania with its own flag, royal dynasty, historical events, and even a language created by HergÃ©. The made-up language, despite being written in Cyrillic script, was, remarkably, not Slavic but a dialect of Flemish/Dutch with some curious phonetics. In Tintin: Destination Moon, it becomes the setting for a fictional space program. In Tintin: The Calculus Affair, Syldavia and Borduria are struggling in a secret war for Calculus' device.

Ruritania / int_b712435c	comment	Leverage and Leverage: Redemption: Zig-zagged. Sometimes, the setting will be in a real East European country, like Ukraine or Serbia. Sometimes, they'll make one up entirely, like "Khazistan" or "Alstonia." The main difference seems to be the scale of the story; if the country is mostly just a background setting and the villains are small-time crooks or criminals, a real country will be used. However, if the story implicates the entire national government as villains - a regime running a covert nuclear weapons program, or a dictator the heroes are trying to overthrow - they prefer to make up an entire country. Amusingly averted during the filming of The Zanzibar Marketplace Job. Word of God is that the script called for the heroes to travel to a stereotypical East European hellhole embodying this trope. This led to an afternoon of googling every country in the region, at the end of which the writers frustratedly concluded that contrary to all the sterotypes, Eastern Europe in The New '10s is mostly a very nice place. They ended up setting the story in Ukraine, but purely for pragmatic reasons (Kyiv was the city that most resembled Portland, where Leverage was being filmed), and the corrupt police official who was initially supposed to have a much larger role was scaled back to have only a couple of scenes.

Ruritania / int_b9b06d7e	comment	Borat note Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan turns Kazakhstan into a Ruritania as a satire on how first-world citizens view foreign, third-world countries. The country is depicted as a cartoonish backwater, with cars drawn by donkeys and absurdly intolerant local customs. It diverges from the stereotypical Dirty Communist atheism or fanatical Catholic or Orthodox Christianity, though: Islam being Kazakhstan's majority faith, the religious attitudes among Borat's people are more in line with what you'd find in a more secularly run Qurac, while Borat himself is a pagan who claims to "follow the hawk." The scenes were actually filmed in a Romani village in Romania. The people of the village didn't take it with much humor when they heard what the actual movie was about. The only real Kazakh in the movie appears in the village as Oksana. The Kazakh language featured in the film is all other languages, depending on the speaker. Borat speaks mostly Hebrew with some Polish thrown in. Azamat speaks Armenian. The villagers speak Romanian. All "Kazakh" signs and captions are in Polish, when they're not just gibberish created by typing English words into a keyboard set for Cyrillic letters.

Maltovia is situated at the eastern edge of Europe, north-east of the Black Sea (which would place it in present-day Russia or Georgia). It is described as a small principality with palace intrigues, traitors in high places, and attempted coups. Despite the location, the Maltovian characters have German names, perhaps because it's a former part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Though the novel can be read as a parallel of the German takeover of Austria, it's the Maltovians who are Germanic while the Lovitznians appear more Slavic, which seems more like a warning about the Red Menace than about Nazi expansionism.

Ruritania / int_e03940f	comment	Mickey Mouse Comic Universe: In Floyd Gottfredson's classic "The War Orphans" (1944), Mickey helps two kids from a Ruritanian country threatened by the Nazis. Gottfredson's earlier "Monarch of Medioka" (1937) basically repeats the story of the Prisoner of Zenda with Mickey replacing "Prince Michael." Romano Scarpa's "Mystery of Tapiocus VI" (1956) finds Mickey helping out the amnesiac king of Mazumia, another Ruritanian country. In a more modern story, Mickey and Goofy travel the small country of "Schnitzelstein" to catch a thief, but Mickey forgets that he isn't a well-known detective in Schnitzelstein, and cannot simply walk into a police office and demand their cooperation; he gets Goofy and himself wanted as criminals. Casty's recent "The World To Come" finds Mickey and Eega Beeva engaged in intrigue with the country of Illusitania, which is shown on a map as being located near Medioka and Mazumia.

Ruritania / int_e5d403f8	comment	ARMA is full of those as the main settings, mostly to prevent controversies but still provide an accurate foreign conflict zone. ARMA: Armed Assault has the Kingdom of Sahrani Island play this trope fairly straight, being a stereotypical Mediterranean-esque monarchy based on Cyprus. Its adversary is the aforementioned People's Republic of Tyranny in the northern half of the island, which broke away from the kingdom a few years ago. There's even a city, called CorazÃ³l located in the border between the North and South where there's a walled demilitarized zone diving the city in two, filled with ruined buildings. If you succeed in beating the main campaign, you can defeat the Democratic Republic of Sahrani and help restore the original united kingdom. In ARMA II, you get the Republic of Chernarus, a Czech-speaking country bordering on Russia that gets entangled in bloody civil war with Russophone Communist extremists (and later with Nationalist militias), sparking first a NATO, then a Russian intervention. It takes its name from Belarus, its geography from the Czech Republic, the conflict from the The Yugoslav Wars, and its general aesthetics from Ukraine. Also, the conflict in Takistan seen in ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead has any resemblance to the First Gulf War for how it started, the Second Gulf War for what happened to the country, or to Afghanistan for how the local people behave. The Republic of Altis and Stratis in ARMA III is an interesting example. The maps are based on real-life Greek islands 'Lemnos' and 'Agios Efstratios' (Although the game makes clear it's NOT the islands with a different name in the future but an entire separate location), the general theme of the islands is very similar to the countries of Malta and Cyprus — independent Mediterranean island republic — with the history begin mostly similar to Cyprus than Malta, both Altis and Cyprus were colonized by various nations, such as the Phoenicians, Greeks and Arabs, both nations are mostly famous for their tourist attractions, both nations became independent recently from the British, both suffered at the hands of a bloody civil war (Although Cyprus' case was mostly ethnic), both became overseen by foreign peacekeepers and were invaded by a Near Eastern power. The AAF is also very similar to the Armed forces of Malta, the Cypriot National Guard and the Hellenic Armed Forces. Livonia in the Contact DLC has borders with Russianote Specifically Kaliningrad Oblast using Polish as the official language, and are considered a baltic country. The way on how they recently joined NATO and are a stepping-stone for a Russian invasion of NATO makes them a very clear stand-in for Baltic countries and Poland, with it being named after a region in Estonia and Latvia. The LDF even uses the "Promet" rifle, based on the Polish "MSBS Grot B" model adopted as Poland's service rifle in 2018.

Ruritania / int_ec5e494a	comment	Urban Jungle features "Ruhritania" and Graustark as small kingdoms on Telluria in the Amazing Science supplement. Aside from having a prince named Oleg, Ruhritania doesn't really fit the usual tropes, being closer to an idealized Romantic-era kingdom, perhaps Britain (with Raygun Gothic styling). Graustark does, being a small and isolated kingdom with Gothic castles and a more conservative populace, but they do have a fairly egalitarian belief in individual rights not unlike the United States. Despite being traditional rivals, both are currently allied against the Thermionic Empire, which stands in for Those Wacky Nazis in the same way many pulp antagonists did.

The producers made up a fake Ruritanian "language" (called Gellerese after the show's executive producer) to use on signs; the idea was that it looks somewhat Slavic, but similar enough to English that the viewing audience could immediately guess what it meant - and thus such subtle jokes as "zona restrik", "machinawerke", "gÃ¤z" and "entraat verbaten" got into an otherwise serious show.

Ruritania / int_f84c42c0	comment	Lupin III: A few miscellaneous Ruritanias have been featured on the various Lupin III TV series. Notable movie examples include: The Duchy of Cagliostro from The Castle of Cagliostro. Lupin states that the country is 'Ruritanian' when they first enter it, along with it being the smallest UN nation (population: 3,500). However, unlike usual examples of the trope, Cagliostro is located somewhere between France and Italy, and its culture is a mixture of the two. Vespania from Lupin III vs. Detective Conan, contains expected first-world technology, but remains much less developed and less economically powerful than other countries. A new mineral found only in their country is stolen by Lupin.
