* There's a lot of fictional countries in Disney comics. Most of them are generic [[Banana Republic|Banana Republics]], [[Ruritania|Ruritanias]] etc., but one of the most notable is Brutopia, a stand-in for the Soviet Union that even appears in [[Don Rosa]]'s stories, which otherwise usually stick to real world countries and locations. |

* [[Tintin]] visited a lot of these as well as real-world locations.

There's also Khemed, which is a [[Qurac]], and San Theodoros, which is a [[Banana Republic]]. |
