Which Fictional Country Would You Like To Live In?

Here's a list.

Tir Na n'Og seems nice to me

Mushroom Kingdom would be a trippy place for a vacation.

Kinda funny i have stumbled this one;Carbombya from the "Transformer" television series i used to watch religiously when i was growing up in the 80's.

Carbombya is a fictional North African nation from the Transformers 1980s cartoon. Its formal name is the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya. Ruled by Supreme Military Dictator, King of Kings, and President For Life, Abdul Fakkadi, the country is rich in particularly fine oil and is intensely nationalistic. Ships that venture too close to the coastline are often fired upon. According to a sign seen in the episode Thief in the Night, Carbombya City has a population of 4,000 people, and 10,000 camels. Carbombya has been known to harbor Decepticons.

Carbombya is designed as a pastiche of Middle Eastern tensions that existed in the 1980s. Its name is a play on the term "car bomb" and Fakkadi's name is intended to invoke that of Libyan dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi. Residents of the country are heard swearing on the lives of their mother's camels, and so forth, in a stereotypical manner.

This did not go over well with veteran voice-over actor Casey Kasem, himself of Lebanese descent (and Druze heritage), who was supposed to provide Teletraan I's voice in Thief in the Night, which was primarily set in Carbombya. He called for a change in the portrayal of Arab characters in that episode--and when no changes had been made, he quit the show.

Kasem's sudden departure required the replacement of Teletraan I with Teletraan II. Frank Welker was the voice of Teletraan II.

Carbombya is occasionally misspelled as Carbombia (an error that recently appeared in the story "Two For the Price of One" by Brandie Tarvin in the Transformers Legends anthology book), and in the script for the episode in which it first appeared, Five Faces of Darkness, it was spelled Karbomia, in a less-overt pun. Fakkadi's name is also often misspelled, generally as "Fakaddi," but the aforementioned Legends story went as far afield as "Faghadi." Perhaps this is not surprising, however, given the numerous English spellings that have been used for Muammar al-Qadaafi's name over the years.

Kinda of a wierd coincidence that some themes and plot from Gi-Joe and Transformers is somewhat similiar of today;which is fighting some rogue terrorist in some third-world country that harbors it.

Brutopia sounds appropriate for a bozo. I could never live in Cockaigne though because every time somebody asked me where I live Id start laughing.

Nutopia, from the John Lennon album.

Since there are no guns, no soldiers, and they're all pacifists, I could take over the country with a two foot lead pipe. Once I'm in power, I appeal to socialist countries for foreign aid, put that money in a Swiss bank, and defect to the U.S.

The Simpsons's Springfield looks like fun. Especially if you're not poor.
