Which fictional country is the main setting of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia?

The story behind the answer

Narnia is the fictional country that serves as the main setting of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia.

Lewis's seven-book series takes its name from this country, which is populated by humans, talking animals, fauns, dwarfs, giants, and other creatures. Narnia is created in The Magician's Nephew by Aslan, the lion who functions as its ruler and creator.

The books show Narnia across a long fictional history rather than during one continuous human period. The Pevensie children become kings and queens during one era, while other stories involve Caspian, Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole, and the final destruction of the world in The Last Battle.

Narnia is often confused with neighboring lands that also appear in the series. Archenland lies south of Narnia, Calormen is farther south, and Telmar is connected with a later invasion. These countries are part of the wider setting, but Narnia is the central realm named in the series title.
