Games by Country

Some games have locales set somewhere specifically in the world. Here is a list of some games sorted by which country that each game takes place in.

See also Games by State, Setting.

Notes:

• If a game takes place in the United States, then list it on the Games by State page.
• Avoid listing a game on this page twice. If a game takes place in two countries and one of them is the United States, then list the game on both this page and on the Games by State page. If a game takes place in two countries, neither of which is the United States, then list the game with the country where the majority of the action takes place. If it's not obvious which country is featured more, place the game with the country which appears earliest in the game. Add a note after the game reference that briefly lists which countries are featured in the game.
• If a game features three or more countries, list it under World Travelers. Again, add a note listing the countries involved.
• If a game takes place in a fictious country, list it under Fictional Countries.
• If a game obviously takes place somewhere in the world but its geographic location is vague and unstated, then do not list it.
