* Novistrana -- from RepublicTheRevolution? (see http://www.novistrana.com/). Formerly part of the Soviet Union. No location given other than that, although there is ethnic unrest in the south, and all the names are very Russian, which suggests the Caucausus.
* [Ruritania]
* [Lyonesse]
* [Orsinia] -- Eastern European country from various of Ursula le Guin's books.
* Tigana (~Italy), Al-Rassan (~Spain), Arbonne (~southern France), Batiara (~Greece), the Sarantine Empire (~Byzantine Empire) plus others... -- Guy Gavriel Kay's parallel-world Europe-equivalent. [GGK's website]
* Vulgaria -- from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Mountainous Eastern European Country ruled by a despotic Baron and his spoilt wife.
* Elbonia
* Freedonia and Sylvania, from Duck Soup

* El Dorado -- the land of gold from South American legend, becoming adopted into Spanish folklore and European Literature, including Candide by Voltaire. See http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/history/A0816958.html for more historical information.
