Planet England: Difference between revisions

Goes hand in hand with [[Expansion Pack World]]. You have a Magical Land that's about the size of England, since it's mostly [[Medieval European Fantasy]]. Let's call it "Magicalandia". You want to expand the world to do more stories, more locations and more [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|Fantasy Counterpart Cultures]]s. But what to call the ''world'' now that you can see beyond the borders of one country?

*** It's an interesting example for another reason too -- ittoo—it lampshades a fact that makes this kind of an ironic trope: we don't have a name for our world either. It's just "the world," or "the universe." When there's only one there's no point in naming it. Uncle Andrew points this out when he's first talking to Digory about traveling to other worlds -- heworlds—he says he doesn't mean other planets, since those are part of our world and you could get to them without magic if you had the technology, but other universes. So maybe part of the reason the kids always talk about England instead of Earth is that Earth isn't really what they mean.
