What is the setting of Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges?

There are many different settings within this collection of stories. The most frequently seen setting is large cities within Argentina. These settings are secondary to the plot of the story, however, and are not described in great detail. Other settings include imaginary planets, such as Tlon in the first story, Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, and imaginary places such as the library in The Library of Babel. These settings tend to be described in deep detail because they are an essential piece of the overall plot of the story. In the final story, The South, the setting shifts throughout the story, but the ranch that the protagonist is attempting to reach is such an integral part of the plot that reader feels it is a major setting to the story even though the ranch is never actually seen and is never fully described in detail.
