Map of Eagleland.

Eagleland (Japanese: イーグルランド EagleLand) is a region in EarthBound, and also the home country of Ness and Paula. Eagleland is the first and main region in the EarthBound, the majority of the game takes place in Eagleland, mostly during the first half of the game.

Eagleland is the largest region in EarthBound and features the most settlements. The main cities in Eagleland are names after numbers in the order of which they are visited: Onett, Twoson, Threed, and Fourside, the only exception to this pattern is Happy Happy Village.

Geography

Eagleland is the westernmost region of the world of EarthBound. It's geography matches that of North America.

Eagleland is located in the far west of the world, and is the largest region. Eagleland's climate is mostly temperate. Most of Eagleland is grasslands and hills, in addition there are also valleys, rivers, and a large desert. Eagleland is the most populated region in the game, the region features many cities large and small. Compared to America in EarthBound Beginnings, Eagleland's climate appears to be warmer and dryer, by comparison it consists of more hills and grasslands and fewer rivers and lakes.

Eagleland is geographically shaped like the continent of North America, most of its features are based off of the common features seen in the United States, which include geographically with various climates, and also in the form of man-made features such as entertainment. The name also is a likely reference to the bald eagle being a prominent symbol of America.
