The
Quadling Country is the southern division of
L. Frank Baum's fictional
Land of Oz, first introduced in
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). It is distinguished by the color
red, worn by most of the local inhabitants called the Quadlings as well as the color of their surroundings. Like the
Munchkin Country, the outer regions of the Quadling Country are rich, pleasant and lovely, being inhabited by kind and friendly people, while the areas closer to the
Emerald City (most of the regions between the mountains of the Hammer-Heads, the enclave of Dainty China Country and the Forest of the Fighting Trees) are forbidding and dangerous.
