Board Thread:Deltora Quest General Discussion/@comment-5411265-20160209014215/@comment-29517617-20160209122641

In Danish (my native language) the word land actually means both country and countryside. However I always assumed that Deltora was both a land and an island. I mean, it does connect to the Shadowlands (formerly Pirra) but it is still referred to an island sometimes. Now, look at a country like Cuba. It is both a country and an island. I don't see any problem with referring to Deltora as a country at all considering all this information. But isn't the word "land" used more times than country? If so, it would make more sense to use "land" more frequently, wouldn't it? Or does it not matter?
