What fictional country is the setting of most stories in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia?

The story behind the answer

Narnia is the fictional country that forms the setting of most stories in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia.

The series follows children from our world who enter Narnia at different points in its long history. Narnia contains talking animals, mythical creatures, enchanted objects, and human visitors, while the lion Aslan serves as its central creator and spiritual authority within the story world.

The country is not the same as every place named in the series. Archenland lies south of Narnia, Calormen is a powerful southern empire, and the remote western lands include places such as Telmar. These neighboring regions matter especially in books including The Horse and His Boy and Prince Caspian.

Narnia also gives its name to the whole series, but the books range beyond the country itself. The Last Battle, for example, expands the setting into a climactic vision of Narnia’s end and a transformed reality beyond it.
