Ruritania

Ruritania is a term used to refer to a mythical or imaginary European country, typically with a romantic, exotic or fairy-tale quality. It is often used to describe a country with a somewhat obscure, mysterious, or far-off location. The term was first used in a novel called "The Princess Betriée" by Anthony Hope (the pseudonym of Sir Herbert Hope, an English author), published in 1894. In the text, Ruritania is the fictional name given to the imaginary country where the story takes place. In modern times, the term Ruritania is often used to refer to non-existent countries or unrealistic, dream-like places, which can be used metaphorically or humorously.

Ruritanian

Ruritanian refers to a literary or fictional country, typically involving a romanticized, idealized, and picturesque or exotic place, often in a Central European or fairy-tale setting. The term is derived from the Ry Russo-Italian, after the ancient name for Rome, Italy, but Ruritanian countries are not necessarily located in Italy. Ruritanian lands are often depicted as small, monarchic, and usually have characteristics reminiscent of continental Europe or the Balkans of the 19th century. They are often characterized by rolling hills, lively festivals, romantic castles or palaces, and usually a noble or aristocratic society. The term Ruritanian specifically refers to the numerous pseudo-historical or pseudo-fantastical regional novels by authors such as Baroness Emmuska Orczy and Rafael Sabatini, whose stories were popularized in the early 20th century. Notable examples of Ruritania include the fictional countries of Medoria and Dolmut in Orczy's "The old Count" and Sabatini's "Captain Blood," respectively. In modern times, the term Ruritanian has also been used in a more tongue-in-cheek fashion to describe countries, states, or regions that have an exaggerated sense of tradition, culture, and perhaps a slightly askew or less-than-actual knowledge of the "real" Europe. The concept can also be applied to films, books, or stories that heavily romanticize and stereotype Europe in general.
