Close your eyes and imagine Canada or Russia. Are snow and ice the first things that comes to mind? And now imagine Australia. Did you immediately connect that name with warm and sunny weather? If so, you're not the only one. Even though these countries have seasons just like most other parts of the world, it seems that in fictionland these countries are permanently stuck in a single season. Even if a show otherwise averts It's Always Spring, it still tends to play this one straight. There are some elements of truth to this. Certain places around the equator experience only two real seasons: hot and rainy, and hot and dry. Unless they're at high altitudes, in which case substitute "hot" with "cool". However, Canada, Russia, and Australia are all far enough from the equator to have more seasons. (The poles, by contrast, have wide temperature differences between winter and summer; it's just that even the summer temperatures don't get above freezing.) Subtrope of Artistic License – Geography. Compare Country of Perpetual Autumn, Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain, and It's Always Sunny in Miami. Examples |

Genshin Impact: Invoked. According to miHoYo, they designed each nation in Teyvat to revolve around specific seasons. Mondstadt has a spring theme, Liyue has an autumn theme, and Flavor Text mentions that Snezhnaya is winter all year round. | |

Let's Go Luna!: Zig-zagged. "Lullaby for Baby Vlad", "What a Matryoshka", and "Space is the Place" show Russia having normal weather, but "You Froze My Shorts" takes place in winter and shows the kind of clothes that Russians wear to keep warm. | |

TaleSpin has the nation of Thembria, a rough expy of the Soviet Union, with an ongoing winter and a military bent. Most of Thembria's landscape is snow and ice, and one of their national holidays is the Slush Festival. Happy slush, comrade. | |

In The Fifth Elephant, Sam Vimes is on a diplomatic mission to Uberwald, the Discworld's equivalent to Eastern Europe. He ends up running for his life in deep snow in a deadly game of wits against werewolves. Just to establish where he is, and for Rule of Funny, he seeks refuge in a lonely isolated house with a cherry orchard populated by three gloomy sisters, who offer him the mysterious trousers of Uncle Vanya. | |

In The Last Continent, XXXX has been hot and dry for so long, the only purpose of houses is to provide shade. (This changes by the end of the book, when it very definitively becomes hot and wet, with a suggestion that normal seasons will return after that. | |

Syberia II takes place almost entirely within Russia and has snow lying everywhere, which is particularly jarring because the original Syberia, set mostly in Europe, had late-summer-to-early-autumn weather going on. Either the train trip through Eastern Europe took Kate literal months, or it just magically started snowing the moment they crossed the Russian border. | |

In a flashback to her youth when her father abandoned her family for his wife's infidelity (which she misattributes to her bangs haircut), it's shown to be snowing outside. | |

Fate/Grand Order: In the Russia Lostbelt, it's explained that around 400 years ago during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, a meteor fell on Earth causing a new Ice Age that is much, much worse than the previous ones. Humans cannot survive in those temperatures and need magical equipment to handle them, and the locals reveal that despite the insane conditions, it's not winter yet. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: The personification of Russia leans heavily into the country's reputation as a wintery war zone. He is one of few characters always wearing a scarf and is specifically tormented by the Anthropomorphic Personification of winter (other northern countries are seemingly spared this fate). It is also mentioned that General Winter is his greatest ally in times of Winter Warfare. | |

A minor plot point in The Saint (1997): Ivan Tretiak, the Corrupt Corporate Executive Big Bad, wishes to start a revolution to Make the Bear Angry Again and steals all of the heating oil in Moscow to make the people angry (and thus more susceptible to follow his lead) with the fact they are struggling to survive the winter. | |

South Park: Set in the title Colorado city, South Park itself is nearly always depicted as covered in wintry snow. The four main characters are almost always shown wearing winter gear: parkas, winter coats, ski hats, winter ear-flap caps, etc. In "Franchise Prequel", Stephen Stotch drags Butters to Moscow to read him and President Vladimir Putin the riot act after Butters admits he used Facebook to sow chaos through false information. It's shown to be snowing when this happens. |
