Fictional setting of 1894 Anthony Hope novel The Prisoner of Zenda (9)

I believe the answer is:

ruritania

(Other definitions for ruritania that I've seen before include "world of romance?" , "Fictional central European kingdom" , "Hope place" , "romantic situation" , "mythical land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
