  • Bandiaterra: Popular April Fools joke by Geography Now
  • 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]

  • Mawan: A country featured in the same Ministry of Defence workshop as Dacan, described as having a land border with that country.
