Central Asia

East Asia

  • Yul: A kingdom in Hong Gildong jeon whose king was overthrown by the titular character, and ruled under said character's benevolent government.

South Asia

Southeast Asia

  • Bultan: A country in Designated Survivor that has a very strict legal system and is led by a Prime Minister. Relations with the US are tense due to an American youth being sentenced to a harsh punishment and the unexpected death of the Bultanese ambassador.
  • Dacan: A country featured in a Ministry of Defence Education Outreach Programme workshop. In the background to the scenario presented during the workshop, Dacan is described as being an oil-rich country which was once a British colony and is currently a member of the Commonwealth; at the beginning of the scenario proper, the government of Dacan orders the arrest of the leadership of a political party that seeks independence for the country's Chiswan province. The fallout from the arrests leads to a civil war breaking out, with the resulting closure of Dacan's airports and borders meaning that foreign nationals are stranded in the country; these include British nationals who are involved with Dacan's oil industry. The unrest, combined with a humanitarian situation stemming from a poor harvest, means that Dacan is faced with a major crisis that must be responded to by those participating in the workshop.[5][6][7][8]
    • Nidan Island: An island lying off the southeastern coast of Dacan which features a Royal Air Force base.[9][10]
  • East Yemen: A country in Yes, Prime Minister
  • Kalayaan: A kingdom based in the Philippine islands set in the contemporary era which was never colonized. It is the main setting of the 2024 film, The Kingdom
  • Kumandra: The main setting for Raya and the Last Dragon where humans and dragons once lived together in harmony. It is heavily inspired by Southeast Asian countries. To conduct research, the filmmakers and the production team traveled to Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.
  • Madripoor: An island principality located between Singapore and Indonesia, featured in Marvel Comics.
  • Mawan: A country featured in the same Ministry of Defence workshop as Dacan, described as having a land border with that country. During the scenario presented in the workshop, Mawan closes its border with Dacan in response to the unfolding crisis in that country, exacerbating the issue of foreign nationals who are stranded in Dacan.[6][9][10]
  • Pagaan: A country between Thailand and Malaysia that functions as the setting of the TV series Embassy.

  • St. George's Island: Commonwealth country off the Arabian peninsula in Yes, Prime Minister
  • Sunda: In Eric Ambler's State of Siege,[11] is similar to Indonesia but much smaller, confined to a single island. (In reality there is a Sunda Strait and many islands known collectively as the Sunda Islands, but no specific one island with the name.)
  • Tuluwan: A country featured in the same Ministry of Defence workshop as Dacan, lying to the southeast of that country. Tuluwan is described as being subject to a United Nations peacekeeping mission at the time of the scenario presented during the workshop, with the peacekeeping force consisting of British, French, and Turkish forces.[9][10]
  • Udon Khai: A country featured in Andrew Vachss's 1995 Batman novel Batman: The Ultimate Evil. Bordering Thailand, Udon Khai is a haven for wealthy sex tourists looking for child prostitutes. The country serves as a stand-in for Thailand and as a critique of Thailand's child sex industry.[12]
