In Dutch we have "Lutjebroek". Problem is, Lutjebroek is also a real village with about 2000 people in it. There's also "Schubbekutteveen" which does not really exists and roughly translates as scaled-cunt-ville.

"Podunk" is a real town in the USA, but people use Podunk to mean any small, unsophisticated town.

(Southern) Germany has Hintertupfingen, where "Hinter-" refers to "behind".

It really sounds like some 1000 year old village with 20 inhabitants.
