Fictional countries or lands, you can
also continents (for example submerged
the continent of Atlantis) or perhaps planets,
we meet in books, films and comics
also in fairy tales and myths. But sometimes they are
countries fictional in terms of time,
namely so that their authors
they describe some fictional countries
in the future or even in a different,
fictional past. Fictional planets
or fictional (actually foretold)
the future are a typical element of art
genre of science fiction that
as a rule, it happens somewhere else and sometime
the second time. A special idea that comes up often
in science fiction, they are parallel
worlds that actually take place in
the present (but also in all other tenses)
and actually here, let’s say on Earth, only yes
they exist simultaneously and somehow on the same
place (Do we need to explain this
theories of quantum mechanics?) in parallel
realities or perhaps in different phases
movement of time and space. To people who live
in one of these parallel realities, it is
only their reality is always accessible
or rather their version of Earth, theirs
history, their present and with it
certain future, their life,
but not perhaps also different lives and
different outcomes of life stories that would
perhaps they could have been … in some of the others
parallel realities.
People make up countries out of very different ones
reasons. Perhaps the most "human"
the reason is that we make them up because
you can have them. Because we can see beyond
because we can imagine things because we are
beings of transcendence of the existing. And that’s why
sometimes we even get them to do some activities,
in order to achieve some change, kak
a step towards a different parallel reality
or possible futures. Another reason for
the inventing of states is the one that gives us the existing ones
countries are not liked enough. To be with them
critical that we want to draw attention to the painful
and unacceptable features thereof,
of the existing world and their lives from it
realities... out of all the possible ones.
Using fictional countries and their
descriptions are often also connected with
authors' fear of suffering
any adverse consequences from such or
different authorities, if too direct
described as unacceptable and painful
reality. Or if it was too open
criticized the countries in which they live. That’s why you are
they prefer to imagine something else, non-existent or
existing only in fantasy, i.e. invented
the country where things are supposed to take place,
which are really happening here and now. Such a one
the use could be called self-censorship and
it arises because the authors do it this way
they avoid censorship and punishment. Also
beyond all these reasons, we humans are like that, yes
we often think more easily, we imagine
and we tell things if we can at least
we move a little away from reality, which we
allows the use of fictional countries.
