* CrapsaccharineWorld: The [[HiddenElfVillage village]] of [[SugarBowl Elfwood]]. Although this place does look [[invoked]][[SugarBowl constantly happy and cheerful]], and bad things very rarely ever happen to its inhabitants, it's strongly implied that the [[HappinessIsMandatory happy atmosphere is forced and artificial]]. As Elfo finds out the hard way, questioning the saccharine status quo will make you ostracized. Oh, and if you piss off the Elf King hard enough, [[FelonyMisdemeanor such as attempting to sleep with his daughter]], he will have you ''sentenced to death by hanging'' from the Gumdrop Tree, all while your fellow elves [[LyricalDissonance sing another cheerful song for your execution]].[[note]](Un)fortunately, elves are too small to get their necks broken by the noose, so they can only get slowly strangled or die of old age.[[/note]] It's really no wonder why Elfo gets sick of this place, he wants the right to choose to be openly happy ''or'' sad, in a much more realistic way.
