geographical setting
Where events unfold
The geographical setting is the physical location and natural environment where something takes place—a story, historical event, or study.
It encompasses terrain, climate, vegetation, and spatial relationships: The novel's geographical setting is the Australian outback.
In fiction, geographical setting grounds the narrative in a specific place and shapes what's possible within it.
