This list of fictional countries groups imagined nations together by the region of the world in which they are supposed to be located.

Africa

  • Afromacoland: African country in the novel Chief the Honourable Minister by T.M. Aluko

  • Bapetikosweti: The "homeland" state of which the South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys (under the guise of his drag character, Evita Bezuidenhout) was ambassador to South Africa. It is a word-play on the former "Bantustan" state of Bophuthatswana (unrecognised as a sovereign state by any country other than South Africa). Bophuthatswana was re-incorporated into South Africa shortly after its first democratic election on 27 April 1994, after which Uys discontinued using his parody state (claiming that Bapetikosweti too had been "re-incorporated" into South Africa).

  • Kalao: African country affected by a covered-up industrial accident, Panique
  • Kalubya: North African country corresponding to the location of Libya in Operation Thunderbolt arcade game
  • Kalya: West African country in the novel The Zinzin Road by Fletcher Knebel. Capital city: Ft. Paul.
  • Kamanga: Southern African country in the novel Tenth Man Down by Chris Ryan. Capital City: Mulongwe. Kamanga is poverty-stricken, war-torn and has an AIDS epidemic.
  • Kambezi: African country occurring in several MacGyver episodes, e.g. "Black Rhino"

  • Moloni Republic: Southern African country from the videogame Metal Gear Acid
  • Nagonia: African country in Yulian Semyonov's spy novel TASS is authorized to announce... (ТАСС уполномочен заявить...), and in the Soviet movie of the same title
  • Nambabwe: a parody of Namibia (formerly South West Africa) during the time of its UN-supervised independence from South Africa. A spoof of the transition by the UN peace-keeping forces was the subject of a comedy film by Leon Schuster, Oh Shucks...Here Comes UNTAG.
  • Nambutu: African country featured in the James Bond movie Casino Royale
  • Natumbe: African country from Dynasty TV series
  • Nayak: imaginary West African country in the movie La Nuit de la vérité
  • Nibia: African country in the movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
  • Sahelise Republic: African country mentioned in The West Wing
  • Shakobi: African monarchy from That's So Raven TV series, episode "The Royal Treatment"
  • Sonzola: African republic mentioned in the novels of Christopher Brookmyre
  • Sotho: a kingdom in Africa mentioned in a 1997 episode of the German TV series Küstenwache (note: the name and the royalist form of government seem to refer to the real existing Kingdom of Lesotho - however, in the episode, the King of Sotho comes to Germany to order ships for his coastguard, which would not make any sense for the real Lesotho, since the country is landlocked).
  • Transvalia: not actually a state in its own right, but rather a parody of the so-called "Boerestaat" named Orania (which was to be a whites-only "homeland" that right-wing Afrikaners wished to establish after South Africa's transition to democracy on 27 April 1994). Leon Schuster made a comedy film called "Sweet and Short", which was a parody of life in the New South Africa. Interestingly enough, the film was made in 1990 shortly after Nelson Mandela was released from prison - many of the fictional events portrayed therein actually came to pass in post-apartheid South Africa.
