| abstract | - It seems that, just like humans, most animals and creatures are intelligent and able to speak, alongside some individual beings of other kinds, like plants (the Evil Trees) or food (Gingerbread Man). Others, like the Dragon, are intelligent but do not speak. Horses, birds and dogs, by the way, are species with no apparent intelligence. Geographically, it has a variety of climates and biomes, including swamps, forests, deserts, mountains, and snowy environments. Hydrographically, it is known to have rivers and at least one large ocean which separates two land bodies. Politically, it has systems similar to those of the Middle Ages, with the two known systems being absolute monarchies: Far Far Away (a kingdom) and Duloc (a lordship). Some places, like the Swamp and Merlin's House, seem to be apart of governments. Because of all the references to the real world in the series (see below), it has been suspected that this world may be in fact Earth, while no place in the series has been identified as a real-world location, meaning that the world may be entirely fictional. There is not enough evidence to prove either side. Since this is not a focus of the series, few information was given about this world as a whole. There is also an alternative version this world created by the Rumpelstiltskin's magic, where Shrek does not exist. It appears in Shrek Forever After.
