The Emerald City is “exactly in the center of the country”. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz the Guardian of the Gate locks green spectacles on every visitor against the glare of its marble and emeralds; the Wizard rules it until he leaves in his balloon, and the Scarecrow after him. From 1904 Ozma reigns from its palace.
