This is a good trope. It doesn't seem to be misused. The title makes sense when you see it. The only problem is, if you don't know the trope's name, you can't find it. It's time for searchable redirects.

Yeah, I saw that one. They can overlap at times, but they aren't really the same place. This is closer to Überwald just with less horror.

[up]No. This is Generic European Rural Country. There is a big difference.

[up][up] And Generic Eastern European Rural Country at that. It's specific. It's still a huge area, but it's a narrower than just being rural.

That said Generic Eastern European Rural Country is long, but it's accurate and searchable and that's what we really need in a redirect.

No, by the trope definition it tends more to be central or Eastern Europe, or at least on that side of the Iron Curtian. Other than that, the boring-but-accurate redirect is fine.

Gah, you're right. I had a brain fart when I was writing that apparently. >_< Eastern Europe. That's what I meant. >_> Former soviet states.

So Generic Eastern European Rural Country for the redirect then? I'll make it and then I think we're done here.
