The trope has a particular overlap with SuperSargassoSea in which the emptiness is dotted with lost objects drifting in the cosmic calm, echoing the {{Trope Namer}}s for both: Part of the original Sargasso Sea's infamy stems from lying in the doldrums, a region near the Earth's Equator prone to prolonged periods of windless calm. Careless navigation or bad luck could find a ship drifting with the seaweed and flotsam in the Sargasso's circling currents for weeks, as the food and water slowly ran out and the crew went mad from boredom.

* Similarly, the Troll Gods of ''Literature/TheElenium'' can access the world between seconds. While there are people and animals they're all frozen in place and cannot be moved and everything is quiet. It's very efficient for traveling long distances in a short time but also very unnerving.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}}:'' The Dead Zone of Libya is a place where an [[OmnicidalManiac Excrucian Strategist]] applied the World-Breaker's Hand ''especially'' hard, and annihilated far more than just the land and its dwellers. Not only is there no life in there, there's no meaning, no hope, and no worth left within it, to the point any man would break in half mentally if they had to spend more than a day in there. But no one's ever tried doing that, because whatever makes a land memorable, even remarkable, was burned away too.

Overlaps a bit with {{Mordor}}, but the key feature is the bareness, not the evilness. PurgatoryAndLimbo are often depicted in this way.

Most of them actually clear anything that has been rezzed on them and give it back to its owners automatically after a few hours [[JustifiedTrope so that they don't end up cluttered or misused by squatters as free homes]].
