Basically, what are the fictional countries in the Disney Comic books and related media, particularly those relating to Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and the like.
In the Duck stories, theres Brutopia, a parody of the Soviet Union, located somewhere in Siberia, and theres also Bazookistan, a Central Asian nation where Scrooge McDuck bought the Candy Stripe Ruby in 1912.
Thats all I can think of for now, but I'm sure theres more.

There are a plethora of them. It would take months to list them all.

Some more from the Duck comics;
Howduyustan, whos Maharajah duked it out with Uncle Scrooge in Carl Bark's Statuesque Spendthrifts.
The Pacific Island nation of Wokawoka from Don Rosa's Island at the Edge of Time.
The Indian province of Ollieysntan from Don Rosa's The Treasure of the Ten Avatars. Considering this province has a Maharajah in an independent and republican India, we can assume its some sort of autonomous province within the Republic of India.

there is, like, an average of one fictional country for Topolino issue.
Currently the only recurrent one is Belgravia from PKNA and Double Duck. A country which's main export are WAR and TERROR.

For fun I was going to add Timbuktu here. I decided to Google it first, though, and discovered it's a real place. I never knew that... I just thought it was an old expression.

Kalamazoo and Cucamonga are real places, too.
In "Maharajah Donalfd", Donlad's neighbour was The Maharajah of Eyesore. There was also a Maharajah of Swingindore. There is also "Plain Awful" in South America, "Nowhwere", where lies "The Valley of Faceless People", Ancient "Sagbad" in "King Scrooge The First", Kooko Coco, where Dr. Witchie Britchie lived. Jumbostan, where The Speckled Elephant was, The Land of Bir Sheba (in The Rub Al Khali of Arabia (no relation to Beer Sheeva (city in Israel). Terry-Fermy -The Land Beneath The Ground,Unsteadystan ("Treasure of Marco Polo"), Tralla-La, Chiliburgeria ("Dangerous Disguise"), Volcanovia ("Volcano Valley"), Tropicania ("Pixilated Parrot"), "Itsa Faka" kingdom in ancient Persia, Hondorica.
Those are just some of those in Barks stories. There must be many more in Strobl, Rota, Gottfredson and Murry adventure stories.

There was was also a Maharajah of Eyesore in Bark's "24 Carrot Moon". Its supposed to be a spoof/reference to the Indian kingdom and later state of Mysore. From Bark's stories theres also the island of Ripan Taro from "The Status Seeker".
From Gottfredson's work, theres the Kingdom of Medioka from "The Monarch of Medioka".

While not a country, there is (obviously) the fictional US state of Calisota (a portmanteau of California and Minnesota), first referenced as such in Bark's "The Gilded Man" and a place I'm sure needs no introduction.
The only other fictional US state in the Duck and Mouse Universes that I now of is Wyazona (a portmanteau of Wyoming and Arizona), first mentioned in one of Gottfredson's stories I believe (I think it was The Bar-none Ranch). It was also mentioned in a Scapra story, Mickey Mouse in the Delta Dimension. In that story the state is mentioned as bordering Calisota. From this we can assume that the state of Wyazona is compromised of northern Nevada.

As far as I remember that state wasn't mentioned in the original version. It was probably added in the US traslantion and it wasn't an idea of Scarpa.

Also, can someone confirm that Gottfredson indeed created a new state name by combining two existing state names, as is being suggested above? I have my doubts, I believe the concept originated with, and was unique to Barks' use of the term Calisota (which he, too, mentioned only once).

I'm truly chastened that this is the first I've heard of Gottfredson using the name Wyozona. Does anyone have a copy of the "Bar None Ranch" handy so as to be able to scan the relevant panels?
The Bar None Ranch was published in 1940, and Barks came up with Calisota in 1952. Was he inspired by Gottfredson's idea of combining two state names? I don't imagine it was a common trope. It would have otherwise made more sense for him to come up with a duck-based name if he wanted to create a fictional state (like "Duckburg" for the city and "Webfoot County" for the county).

I don't think Barks was inspired by Gottfredson. Don Rosa said that about Calisota name
Quote:Barks' name of "Calisota", in case some don't realize it, was his way of saying that wherever Calisota was, it sometimes had warm sandy beaches like California, and other times had freezing weather and blizzards like Minnesota. Cali-sota.

That's what I thought it implied, but I was never sure if that was what Barks intended or not.
