Nonestica


Nonestica is a fictional continent within L. Frank Baum's Oz universe on which the Land of Oz and its neighboring countries are located.

History

It is located in the fictional Nonestic Ocean and contains the countries of Oz, Ev, Ix, Mo, Noland, the Forest of Burzee, Merryland, the unidentified Kingdom of Dreams, and many others. The Land of Oz is separated from the other lands by the Deadly Desert.
The name "Nonestica" derives from the Latin phrase "non est," meaning "it does not exist." The name does not appear in any canonical Oz book; however, "Nonestic Ocean" does. The name "Nonestica" was proposed by Robert R. Pattrick for the name of the continental mainland. He proposed "Ozeria" as the name of the entire continent, including its islands.
David Hardenbrook's The Unknown Witches of Oz contains one of the most ambitious cosmographies of Nonestica and Baum's Oz universe yet attempted.
