A collection of books [[{{Parody}} parodying]] travelling guides, relying on RapidFireComedy and the perceived [[NationalStereotypes stereotypes]] surrounding the people living in the regions portrayed in the guides. The books were written by [[UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} australian]] comedians [[Creator/{{WorkingDogProductions}} Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch]] of ''The D-Generation'' fame.
The guides all feature a FictionalCountry, all [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated versions]] of stereotypes about [[RealLife real-world]] regions. The first and most well-known of the guides is ''Molvanîa: A Land Untouched by Modern Dentistry'', released in 2003. Its popularity spawned two sequels, ''Phaic Tăn: Sunstroke on a Shoestring'', released in 2004, and ''San Sombrèro: A Land of Carnivals, Cocktails and Coups'', released in 2006, as well as a SpinOff called ''Traditional Molvanîan Baby Names: With Meanings, Derivations And Probable Pronunciations'', released in 2011.
