The fictional World of Hunter × Hunter is composed of the ocean and the 6 continents which look similar to those of the real world but have different locations. There are 250 countries in the world. Only two continents are known by name so far: Yorbian and Azian continents. In reality, the "ocean" where these continents are is a great lake in the Dark Continent called Lake Mobius.

- a common language seemingly spoken in the majority of countries, which utilizes a fictional writing system;
- a language identical to real-life English, including its writing system.[2] It is widespread enough for featuring on signs inside the Black Whale as a second language;[3]

Trivia
- The world of Hunter × Hunter looks like a map of Earth, but with the various continents tilted and relocated.
- Real world locations that are missing include Sri Lanka, Greenland, Iceland, Central America, and Antarctica.
- Despite the rearranged pattern of the continents, in Chapter 56 a regular world map centered on Japan and the Pacific Ocean can be seen.
- The common language is substantially the same as Japanese in terms of grammar, the only difference being the writing system.
