Looking-Glass Land is the setting for Lewis Carroll's 1871 children's novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.

Geography[]

... and a most curious country it was.

The entire country is divided into squares by a series of little brooks with hedges growing perpendicular to them.

Government[]

The land is contested by two competing factions, the Reds and the Whites. Each side has its King and Queen, knights, armies, and castles.

Religion[]

Religion is not mentioned by Carroll, but there are bishops in the land, and an entire chapter is devoted to them in the 1895 sequel novel by Anna Matlack Richards, A New Alice in the Old Wonderland.
