Hands down, the Pokemon world. There's nothing like leaving your home when you're ten years old and going off to catch wild Pokemon to use in battle against others. Honestly, the idea of it is awesome.

Pokemon is like the ultimate escapist fantasy. Trainers essentially live like vagrants who never have to worry about money, and society is basically built around you. You get free food and lodging from tax-funded Pokeconters and everyone respects you despite only having a 5th grade education and no transferable skills other than what attack a giant penguin should use that would be most effective against a giant tree lizard. The only real-world thing I can even compare it to is if professional gamers somehow rose twenty rungs on the social ladder, so I guess Koreans are already kinda living the dream. Also, despite having much more advanced technology than we do (robots, sentient AI programs, cloning, the means to store biological creatures as data) it's only ever applied to Pokemon and nothing else, with essentially all scientific advancements going towards making trainer's lives easier and all the ethical loose-ends apparently tied up ages ago.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
