POLDER

From the Encyclopedia of Fantasy: ‘... the word derives from Old Dutch... a tract of low lying land reclaimed from a body of water and generally surrounded by dykes; to ensure its continued existence, these dykes must be maintained... polders are defined as enclaves of toughened REALITY, demarcated by boundaries... from the surrounding world.'
