It seems to be a pseudo-China.

Uh, yeah. It's called Kara-Tur. It was created for Greyhawk and dropped into the Realms, not unlike the Underdark and every other original idea that the Realms "claims."

Yea, FR just stole everything from GH! Elminster was Greyhawkian. Bet you didn't know that, eh? And Drizz't came from Erelhei-Cinlu. Never would have guessed that wouldja? And did you know Mystra is really just Boccob post-op? He took up weaving to try to be more "feminine." [/silly sarcastic bitterness]
