Europunk

Europunk (also known as Ruritaniancore or Euro-fiction) is an aesthetic based on non-existent, fictitious or uchronic European countries, as well as a distorted European vision that takes on different directions.
==Philosophy==
The theme of this movement arised in the golden age of romanticism and adventure, specifically in the 1890s, where the first novel that would lay the foundations for this genre was written: The Prisoner of Zenda,l by Anthony Hope, a drama novel. The protagonist of this novel travels to a non-existent country in Europe called Ruritania, which is based on different aspects of European Union countries. As time passes, different artists and writers took on this premise to create their own countries akin to Ruritania, created based on a romanticization of different European places, with many of these works coming from the 19th century.
==Variations ==
Gaslamp fantasy could be a distant cousin of this aesthetic, the variants closest to this page could be certain categories that are oriented or approach the fantasy written in classic fables or children's stories, as well as novels of the time, the alternative directions that Europe could have taken in another world or in other time, as well as steampunk, the fantasy adventure genre, among others.
