Etymology

From Curtis +‎ land.

Proper noun

Curtisland

1. A quasi-mythologised version of England as depicted in the films of Richard Curtis.
   • 2009, Tim Adams, The Observer, 22 March:

     Curtisland was among the least "cool" products of Cool Britannia, but it was always perfect for export; Britain was suddenly a sunny, witty, self-deprecating, charming kind of place, a Doris Day film by the Thames in which it was forever Christmas.

   • 2015, Dominic Sandbrook, The Great British Dream Factory, Penguin 2016, p. 74:

     Both Avengerland and Curtisland are firmly rooted in an idealized, romanticized version of contemporary Britain.
