Fourecks)
XXXX or FourEcks (previously known as Terror Incognita) is the name of the Australia-like continent seen in the Discworld novel The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett. This continent is largely unfinished, and the archchancellor of the local magic college is named Bill Rincewind (no known relation to the Unseen University alumnus and trained coward). Lu-Tze and other sources tell us that on Fourecks time and space are very twisted up and there is a big time source right in the middle.
Both the flora and fauna of the continent is extremely dangerous, as Death's Library attests. A book series known as "Dangerous Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Fish, Jellyfish, Insects, Spiders, Crustaceans, Grasses, Trees, Mosses and Lichens of Terror Incognita" extends into "Volume 29c Part Three", while the list of harmless ones contains only: "Some of the sheep"
The capital of Fourecks is evidently Bugarup. The only other known settlement is Dijabringabeeralong.
