Fictional Characters and Places That You Wish Were Real ?

I'm going to go with McClintock and Sherwin's Big Rock Candy Mountain:

Quote

One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning;

I'm headed for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.

Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks

The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around them
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in.

There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains ...

I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

I think The Culture is the only fictional world I would actually want to visit. Everything just seems so....completely awesome all the time.

Pretty much. As long as I'm just a regular person and not part of any of the novels plot lines.

1. Paladine from Dragonlance.

I'd like Fizban the Fabulous to run around but it'd be nice to just have the epic Lawful Good Dragon version of God moving around, kicking ass and taking names while also reassuring the world is a better place.

2. The United Federation of Planets from Star Trek

I'd probably moved to Kronos or Bajor but I'd like them to be there to extol the virtues of science as well as good will to humanity.

3. Superman from DC comics

Because Superman.

4. Mystra from Forgotten Realms

Because she comes with the Weave and Magic as a whole.

5. Ozma of Oz

Weirdly, not necessarily Oz itself but because she shows up in Wearing the Cape as a superhero and that is AWESOME.
