Sigh. I swear, there are several of these threads. And in everyone I say the same thing. The Farenheit proves nothing. Lemony says Fahrenheit, not the baudelaires. Lemony could be from India or could be an Eskimo, for all we know. The currency is Dollars and cents. That basically eliminates most countries in this world. Except the USA.... and australia (are there others?) And now. The Big one. The ultimate. It tells us the date of the baudelaire mansion being burnt down. This, in co-ordination with the False Spring in TSS means that it MUST be in the southern hemisphere. (although we don't have an exact amount of days in ASOUE, we know it is not a year, since we have not seen Sunny's birthday yet) So, its in the southern hemisphere. Where, you may ask. The only logical solution is australia. We have snowy mountains, deserts and oceans. It is basically the only place that is possible. Besides Snicketania.

I propose Snicketania and I back it up with writer's license.

I agree that the true location of the series is Snicketania, or the Snicketverse if you prefer. While it's interesting and fun to find connections between the world of the series and real times and places, we should keep in mind that Handler didn't intend it to take place anywhere in particular. Has anyone asked him about this in interviews?

Has anyone asked him about this in interviews? Probably not, but someone should. Wish I could meet the man; I have some questions that are just obscure enough to be answered and just big enough to be interesting. Pity that it's never ever going to happen, ever.

I'd ask him about the timeline, the rough date of the series and the location.

My vote goes to Snicketania!
