Oz is an imaginary region containing four countries under the rule of one monarch. It was first introduced in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) by L. Frank Baum, and described and expanded upon in the Oz Books. Baum wrote fourteen children's books about Oz and its odd inhabitants. After his death Ruth Plumly Thompson continued the series.

The authors of Oz books are titled "Royal Historians of Oz", and it is their duty to report to the children of our world on the goings-on in the Land of Oz. Any confusion or contradiction between the different versions of their histories is utterly their own fault.
