The World & Locations In Hunter X Hunter

The Hunter x Hunter world is composed of the ocean and the 6 continents which look similar to those of the real world but have different locations. There are 250 countries in the world and only two continents are known by name so far: the Yorbian and Azian continents.

The Yorbian Continent

The Yorbian Continent is one of the 6 continents of the Hunter × Hunter world. Yorknew City, famous for its auctions, is located in this continent. Yorbian is also where a severed body part of the Chimera Ant Queen was first found.

The United States Of Saherta
The United States of Saherta is a country in the middle of the Yorbian Continent, and one of the countries of the V6. Notable places in this country are: Yorknew City, Gordeau Desert, and Glam Gas Land

Yorknew City: It is a sprawling metropolis of the United States of Saherta, on the Yorbian Continent. The city annually holds various auctions including the world's largest auction: the Southernpiece Auction, in which the world's rarest and most valuable artifacts are accumulated in one place. The city is also famous for its black market auctions which mostly deal with illegal goods. The city's election and authority are mostly bribed and controlled by the Mafia Community. As a result, all enforcement forces in the city ranging from police to SWAT are literally dirty cops and Mafia henchmen.
The Gordeau Desert: The Gordeau Desert is located in the outskirts of Yorknew City. It is a large scale dry wasteland, where half of the Phantom Troupe members were stranded and the one member Uvogin fought against members of the Mafia Community and Shadow Beasts.
Glam Gas Land: The Pleasure Capital - Glam Gas Land is a city in the northern part of the United States of Saherta, on the Yorbian Continent, to the northeast of Yorknew City. For several past years, this area covered by red earth mountains was poor. A tribe of migrants, the Glam Caravan, discovered a natural gas resource among these mountains and settled near the gas deposits.

Balsa Islands
Balsa Islands are a group of islands located to the south of the Yorbian Continent. They include the Mitene Union, an island country made up of 5 smaller countries where the Chimera Ant crisis takes place.

The Mitene Union
The Mitene Union is a federation formed by 5 countries: the NGL Autonomous Region, the Republic of Rokario, the Republic of Hass, the Republic of West Gorteau, and the Republic of East Gorteau. It is located in the Balsa Islands, to the south of the Yorbian Continent.

Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region: It was a self-governed country and part of the Mitene Union. It was populated by 2.17 million civilians prior to its decimation. The people of NGL rejected any form of modern technology and prevent anything created from synthetic materials from entering their country. Any smuggling of technological goods, modern medicine, or weapons was dealt with through imprisonment or death sentence. Their main form of correspondence was through use of letters while the primary mode of transport was by horse.

NGL Border Stop: NGL Border Stop is a combination of two large, hollowed-out trees that act as the checkpoint and embassy to the NGL. In order to prevent anything created from synthetic materials from entering their country and for someone to enter the country as a whole, one has to go through an extensive full-body examination, x-ray scan, and ultrasound at the border stop.
D² Manufacturing Plant: D² Manufacturing Plant was a narcotics factory of the dangerous drug D². It was created to mass produce the D² drug developed by Gyro to spread evil and ruin the lives of others. The NGL was founded as an ingenious way to cover D² production, including the factory and the plantation of Bira (D²'s raw material). It is likely that only the NGL's leaders know about the manufacturing of this narcotic, while the residents living an environmentalist lifestyle were most likely ignorant of the situation.

Republic of Rokario:It is one of the nations of the Mitene Union. It is bordered by the NGL on the west and the Republic of Hass at the east. After the Chimera Ant crisis was over this country took over part of the Republic of East Gorteau with other parts being taken over by the Republic of Hass and the Republic of West Gorteau.

The Republic of East Gorteau: It was one of the nations in the Mitene Union, formerly bordered by the Republic of West Gorteau. Its last Supreme Leader was Ming Jol-ik before the Chimera Ant King dethroned him. It used to be an isolationist nation, with its capital city being Peijin. The Royal Palace rests outside of Peijin in the wilderness. The country ceases to exist after the Chimera Incident. It originally counted over 5000000 inhabitants, all of whom became refugees.

Peijin: Peijin is the capital city of the Republic of East Gorteau, located on the Southeastern end of the country. Ming Jol-ik, Supreme Leader of the country, lives in a palace just outside of the city.
