In Reality Z-25 31-H, “the Naked Jungle” (COMIC: Whatever Happened to Jenny Everywhere?!) was located in the African country of Buranda. It was home to the adventuring couple Kaza and Gwenna, deriving its nickname from the pair's infectious nudist lifestyle.

Other denizens of the Jungle or its surroundings included helpful bureaucrat Commissioner Smedley Hopkirk and his wife Catherine, sometimes known as the jungle girl Nula. The Natari tribe is used to exotic foreigners passing through their jungle.

Landmarks

Notable landmarks in the Jungle include mystical artifacts such as the Obelisk of Rangora, which could teleport individuals, even across universes. (COMIC: Wonderella Drops by the Jungle)

Another large construction is the striking but often unused Temple of the Serpent God, in a remote valley. (COMIC: The Serpent Sorceress)

Less popular is a giant stone foot, said to have “the power to bring great happiness” but which may be more trouble than it's worth. (COMIC: Jung-La in the Naked Jungle)

Either in the jungle or nearby is an entrance to the Earth's core which is generally known to the adventuring populace. (COMIC: Crisis Down the Yellow Brick Road)

The most well-known of them however is the treehouse of Kaza and Gwenna which despite being in extremely remote from civilization, it has access to hi-tech things such as electricity and wireless communication.

History

After parting ways with the Odds, Jenny Everywhere visited the Naked Jungle and somehow managed to install a flat-screen TV in Kaza and Gwenna's jungle home. (COMIC: Whatever Happened to Jenny Everywhere?!)

Jenny and Herbie Popnecker later passed through the Naked Jungle aboard a time machine. (COMIC: Meanwhile…)

Wonderella, a superheroine from another universe, once visited the Naked Jungle. She borrowed two hundred dollars from Kaza and returned home thanks to the power of the Obelisk of Rangora. Later, she was sent back to the Jungle on Saint Patrick’s Day by a Leprechaun alongside her sidekick Wonderita. She seemed to have retained an unpleasant memory of her first visit, describing the place as “like a porno movie edited by Mormons”. The two soon found Kaza and Gwenna again, and were directed back to the Obelisk, where they fought a giant badger before successfully getting home. (COMIC: Wonderella Drops by the Jungle)

Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Nowhere once passed through the Naked Jungle while chasing each other across universes. As they materialised, their shifting powers adapted their outfits to their new surroundings, making all their clothes vanish except for their underwear. Fairly quickly, Everywhere tripped on a vine and Nowhere took the opportunity to grab onto her and shift the both of them out of this universe and off to Nowhere's own house. (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)
