	The Head Heeb: Can anyone say Pinot Grand Enwick?
		The twentieth century saw such fictional countries as Bacteria (The Great Dictator) which is obviously fascist Italy, Beninia (Stand on Zanzibar) a starving sub-Saharan African country, Borduria and Syldavia (Tintin comics) in the Balkans, Parador (Moon over Parador) is the generic Latin American banana republic), Shangri-La (Lost Horizon) a Himalayan Buddhist kingdom.
		I think that’s part of the reason why these countries are usually idealized or demonized, and why some of these countries would be so wonderful to live in while others are hell holes.
		Googling around, here is the wikipedia page on fictional countries, some of which fit with Alexander's examples.
