Counterweight ContinentThe Counterweight Continent is a landmass on the Discworld, the fantasy world that is the setting of Terry Pratchett's fantasy novels. It is situated on the opposite side of the Discworld (not the flip side; just the other edge of the same side) from the Unnamed Continent (home of Ankh-Morpork) and Klatch. It is smaller than these other two landmasses but acts as a counterweight because its crust is made up largely of gold and octiron, both dense, heavy metals. It is (roughly) comma-esque in shape, and the tip of the comma extends all the way up to the ice cap at the Hub. The Counterweight Continent is home to the large and extremely rich Agatean Empire, which more or less leaves the rest of the Disc alone.
