In "The Arabian Nights", the tale of Aladdin and his lamp is actually set in what non-Arabian country?

In "The Arabian Nights," the tale of Aladdin is set in China, though it's a fantastical, Middle Eastern-flavored version of China, as the story was added to the collection by a French translator who heard it from a Syrian storyteller.

What is a group of turkeys called?
