The Land And Its People

Pretty people live in Pretty World and bad people live in Bad World, and that will never change.

The servants, surfs, and other poor, low-ranking classes live in the destitute village that Hero might start out in. The Corrupt King and his nobles live in the formidable castle filled with riches, food, and other goods that they possibly pillaged those below them for. The Dragon, Evil Sorcerer, and Villain live in the hellish, dark fortress filled with Lost Heroes' Skulls and molten lava. You get the pattern? The land represents the people who take residence in so we'll know who we're dealing with in the story.

This heavily ties in with Environment Fitting Its Residents as it's a similar thing but applied specifically to humans and their towns, cities, villages, or wherever else.

If this applied to real life, then you may think people who live in America, a first world country, would live something like The 90s Teen Girl or The Spoiled Brat.
