The Discworld is a flat world floating in the universe on the back of the Grande A'Tuin, a gigantic turtle on which are perched four elephants that support the continents. This map is a synthesis of the geography of Terry Pratchett's imaginary worlds. The map reproduced here is a top view showing all the attributes of a "real" map of the modern era.
