** In the third iteration, ''Gatchaman Fighter'', versions of names of existing countries are used, completely forgetting the names used in the original.
* Academy City and the Elizarina Alliance of Independent Nations in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''. The former is an independent state in Japan and is the forefront of all science and technology in the [[The Verse|Toaruverse]], while the latter is an alliance of nations which split themselves from Russia.
* The ''[[Gundam]]'' metaverse is all over this trope. ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' has the Sanc Kingdom,<ref>Denmark according to the sourcebooks</ref>
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* From DC Comics: [[Qurac|Qu]][[Trope Namer|rac]], home of Cheshire, and a rather unsubtle [[Fictional Counterpart]] to [[Iraq]] (pre-[[War On Terror|Iraq War]], obviously), right down to its leader, [[President Evil|President Marlo]], who is an obvious [[Expy]] of Saddam Hussein.
* There's a lot of fictional countries in Disney comics. Most of them are generic [[Banana Republic
** [[Carl Barks]] also created the violent and dangerous country of Unsteadystan, blatantly based on Vietnam. It was engulfed on a civil war after a civil war and one of the first things we get to see is a rebel soldier blowing up America's embassy with grenades.
* [[Tintin]] visited a lot of these as well as real-world locations. [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Borduria]] is a pretty obvious [[Nazi Germany]] counterpart, while its neighbor Syldavia is a particularly well-executed [[Ruritania]]. There's also Khemed, which is a [[Qurac]], and San Theodoros, which is a [[Banana Republic]].
