The "another world" part of [[Trapped in Another World]]. It may [[Cool Gate|lurk]] [[Down the Rabbit Hole|down a rabbit hole]], [[Portal Pool|at the bottom of a pool]], over a mysterious mountain range, or [[Narnia|through a wardrobe]]. What is certain is that people from other worlds will be visiting it. Usually the '''Magical Land''' is [[Another Dimension]] or [[Time Travel|time period]] or some sort, but it can also be a mysterious "unexplored territory", uncharted island, or [[Lost World]], which is more common the farther you go back.

This is a bit of a subversion, however; Umbria is just a country in a much larger world, and the only off-worlders that affect politics are understandably those who married royalty. The jury is out on [[Medieval Stasis|expanding technology,]] though.
* The [[Totally Radical|Radical]] Land in ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]''.
* ''[[Bird Boy]]:'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20110407090813/http://bird-boy.com/volume-1-page-13 When Bali chases the spear into the forest, it turns from winter to summer].
* Just about everyplace in ''[[Homestuck]]'' that isn't Earth, but particularly Prospit and Derse.
* The common subtrope involving a child hero is [[Deconstructed]] by ''[[Xkcd]]'' in [http://xkcd.com/693/ strip number 693].
