The Mickey Mouse universe is a fictional universe where some cartoon characters created by the The Walt Disney Company live, the most famous of which is Mickey Mouse. It is coexistent with the Duck universe, a spin-off of the Mickey Mouse universe which centers around Mickey's friend Donald Duck and his rich uncle Scrooge McDuck. "Mickey Mouse universe" is not an official term used by Disney.
Since 1990, the actual city in which Mickey lives is most often called Mouseton, and is often seen as the city next to Duckburg, Donald's hometown. According to traditional continuity, both cities are located in the fictional U.S. state of Calisota, a portmanteau of California and Minnesota. The Mickey Mouse universe is also a parallel universe and characters often visit real-world places and meet historical figures.
