Or at least I always assumed it was. Pratchett was born and raised in Buckinghamshire though, so I guess it might not be. I think the witches are something very very english and it's hard for readers from other countries to relate to them. I was brought up in a rural town in Derbyshire and every single archetype from the novels is there. It's like reading your childhood, but with magic. I've also been floored by the revelation that Llamedos is Sod em all backwards. It just seemed so authentically welsh that I never even thought about it. Although I can't really think of people to play most of the discworld characters I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't want any Americans doing it. It's just not right.
