The world of The Flintstones is depicted as a prehistoric version of Earth that takes place in the "Modern Stone Age".
Description
Despite taking place 30 million years prior to the 20th century (also said to be only 1 million years ago in The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones), Bedrock itself exists in a "Modern Stone Age" version of Earth, as such it has many of the modern conveniences, themes and locales of the 20th century, even possessing many of the same countries and locations from the real world which weren't even discovered or named yet at the time of prehistory, although most of these locations will appear with altered names to make them fit with the stone age-theme of the setting.
For example, the Americas are still referred to as such but locations within them have altered names, like Hollywood being called Hollyrock, Las Vegas being called Rock Vegas and San Antonio being called Sand-and-Stony-o. China and Japan also follow this theme, possessing their original names as countries but with locations within them having stone age names. Europe and Mexico however are called Eurock and Mexirock respectively. Australia has also inconsistently been referred to as Rockstralia, Australiarock, The Down Under or by its real name. Hawaii, which is referred to as Honolurock, is apparently visible from Bedrock via binoculars.
Specials, games and other media have indicated that in the far future, the world of The Flintstones will become the world of The Jetsons.
