One of the essential components of good fiction is believability, which is conveyed through details and the writer's voice. In terms of setting, it's possible to write convincingly about a place with which you have no first hand experience if you thoroughly research it, making certain to look for the kinds of details that people who live there would know.
First, research a country or place to which you’ve longed to visit but haven’t yet been, gathering as much detail as possible.Go beyond the basics and search for the kinds of persuasive details that you would almost have to be there to know…cities, streets, politics, religion, government, social issues, popular culture, music, etc. Then write a scene from a short story that uses that setting as its major component.
