Oz

Land over rainbow

Oz is the magical land in L.

Frank Baum's 1900 novel *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* and its sequels, ruled by a wizard and populated by witches, munchkins, and talking scarecrows.

The name evokes fantasy, wonder, and places that seem too good to be true: We're not in Kansas anymore—this place is like Oz.

Oz is also Australian slang for Australia itself. (Lowercase oz is an abbreviation for ounce.)
