Line 6:
The wall can surround a single village, a town, a continent, a world, or even [[Corralled Cosmos|an entire galaxy]]. Or it could seemingly surround nothing, and simply mark a barrier between one world and the next. Surprisingly common in Soviet era SF. Think about it.
Note that, despite the name, the barrier does not have to be a literal wall. But if it is, it is almost always a [[Great Wall]].
Compare [[Dyson Sphere]], which is a wall built by the inhabitants of the world. If the barrier surrounds a community, it is an isolated [[Small Secluded World]] or [[City in a Bottle]] or possibly a [[Domed Hometown]].
