Oz is a pleasant land, with a mild, temperate climate and fertile farmlands. It is rectangular, divided into four triangular countries, each with its predominant color. The Munchkins live in the east, and their favorite color is blue. The Quadlings live in the south, and favor the color red. The Winkies live in the west, and they like yellow, and the Gillikins, in the north, prefer purple. In the center, where the four countries meet, is the Emerald City, the nation's capital and only major city. Green is the color of choice there.

Much of Oz is made up of either isolated farms or small communities. Close to the Emerald City, and in other locations around the country, people are law-abiding and friendly, and acknowledge the rule of the Emerald City. Further out, however, are many tribes of strange peoples who don't care, or even know, that they are part of a larger country. For the most part the Ozites keep to themselves, and there is rarely any trouble. But sometimes strangers visit these odd, isolated villages, and unusual things happen as a result...

Oz is a place where magic abounds, but much of that magic is either naturally occurring (so that books and sandwiches grow on trees, for instance, and the animals can talk), or is wielded by a relatively minor number of magic workers, both good and evil.
