remote territory
Far-flung land
Remote territory refers to land far from population centers or difficult to access—wilderness, frontier regions, or areas beyond easy reach of infrastructure and services.
The phrase emphasizes both physical distance and isolation: The expedition ventured into remote territory where no roads existed.
Figuratively, it describes unfamiliar conceptual ground: That question takes us into remote territory.
