Imaginary world
"Atlantis" by Lloyd K. Townsend: Atlantis, described by Plato, was imagined by him as an exemplary setting Imaginary worlds have been the subject of cosmological and philosophical speculation since ancient times, as well as being used for entertainment.
SettingsImaginary settings need not reflect or resemble the natural world, and logic, physics and plausibility are frequently ignored or violated.
PlacesImaginary places are best known from myth and fiction, such as where a purposely-created fiction forms part of a fictional universe, and provide background information and locale for the story. In this context an imaginary world may be a world constructed for a specific purpose (eg. constructed world), or created for personal enjoyment (eg. as in geofiction), or may emerge naturally from the narrative.
Events or scenariosCogitation and fiction may both conjure events which did not, might not have, may never or will never happen; such events can be said to occur in an imaginary world.
