Just wondering if we can agree a simple notability guideline for this list.
I'd suggest that requiring a fictional country to have its own WP page would be too strict. However, it seems reasonable to require every entry to have a WP page for the work; after all, if the fictional country is notable, the work in which it is mentioned will certainly be. If the work is notable, it'll have its own WP page. Bromley86 ( talk) 19:32, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Please stop adding countries that do not meet the criteria. Thank you. Verified Cactus ( talk) 19:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
I have been reading through the talk page archives and I have noticed that @ Ncboy2010: and @ RandomCritic: have purged many items from the list. I have also noticed that many of them do indeed meet the criteria, and so should be eligible for re-entry. How should we approach this? Verified Cactus ( talk) 00:11, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Not a fan myself, but just wondering if the Game of Thrones countries belong in this article? The show isn't mentioned on the "Fantasy Worlds" Wikipedia page, either--surely it belongs on one or the other? Thoughts? Apruzan ( talk) 00:33, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
@ Graham1973:
The creator of the character Amanda Garret is not un-noteable read for example John Birminghams Weapons of Choice trilogy where there is a ship (and class of ships) named in honor of the author and his very successful creation. Just because he died in 2014 and created a strong female character does not make him 'unnotable'
None of what you said makes Cobb notable. While I concede that a quick google search seems to turn up enough results to make him notable, he doesn't have a Wikipedia page. If neither the work the country comes from or the creator of the work have a Wikipedia page, they shouldn't be on the list. The Verified Cactus 100% 01:08, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I mistaken added months ago Kalos from Pokémon. The user SimplyMashedPotatoes delete it because isn't from Earth. My question is... why are in this list (for example) Bowser's Kingdom, Sarasa Land and Mushroom Kingdom from Super Mario, if they are from a fictional world named "Mushroom World" and not from Earth itself?

I noticed that you have Bandiaterra, an april fool's country from Geography Now, on the list, but Geography Now has made more fictional countries to celebrate April fool's since. These include: Limberwisk, The Confederation of Patch Amberdash, and Qitzikwaka, with him saying that a country called "The Voskodon Republic" coming next April fool's (I'm not sure if I got the spelling for the last one right, so please correct me if I'm wrong). -- JH2006 ( talk) 15:49, 15 October 2020 (UTC) EDIT: I actually looked closer and saw Limberwisk on there, but Patch Amberdash and Qitzikwaka still have yet to appear on the list.

Destroido is a corporation in Scooby Doo! Mystery incorporated lead by Ricky Owens, alias Mr. E. It's introduction episode doesn't say it is a country, but in a later episode, both Crystal Cove's mayor and sheriff directly say that it is a sovereign entity, meaning the sheriff can't arrest anyone and people need a Destroido passport to go on the property. -- JH2006 ( talk) 16:19, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Today for April Fool's Day, Geography Now made a new video detailing a fictional country originally called he "Voskodon Republic" but now calls "Sovonthak," a floating country that recently got its independence and is the only country in the world with a mix of Spanish and Cambodian. -- JH2006 ( talk) 20:35, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Ok. Seriously. I made those edits about Geography Now's April Fool's countries months ago, and while Qitziqwaka has been added, weirdly enough Bandiaterra and Limberwisk have been removed and the other 2, the Confederation of Patch Amberdash (alternatively Datcsh) and Sovonthak haven't been added. I'm just wondering why they aren't on there. I seriously hope they get added. -- JH2006 ( talk) 18:30, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Zeon, from Mobile Suit Gundam, refers to any of a series of fictional nations (see Gundam Wiki disambig page), none of which are countries on Earth. They have colonies in space, but never on Earth itself. However, according to the article description,
Fictional works describe all the countries in the following list as located somewhere on the surface of the Earth as we know it – as opposed to underground, inside the planet, on another world, or during a different "age" of the planet with a different physical geography.
As such, should we remove it from the article? Eunakria ( talk) 02:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I feel like this is not really a good reference for anything one might want a list of fictional countries for, because it mixes countries from works of secondary-world fiction, countries invented for parody, countries invented as part of scams, and countries invented for military exercises. I can't think of a situation where someone looking for a list of references would want all of these in one place. ScribblingTiresias ( talk) 00:15, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
