I think this was enumerated completely somewhere, but just for my own sake:
Odessa -> Basically Tudor England (although hotter in climate)
Flannary -> France post-Charlemagne
Fresia -> Holy Roman Empire
Celstia -> Highlands Scotland and Edinburgh at roughly the same time period as the Tudor equivalent
Alexia -> Italian/Greek of vaguely the Medici strong-polity weak-nation area, but without the local importance to trade (at least, not anymore, since it's largely a puppet state of Odessa at this point)
Hakan -> Switzerlandish kinda? I think this was mentioned somewhere, but can't find it on the wiki
New Hakan -> Like Israel, only less "Jingoistic Nationalism creating the state of the chosen people" and more "Welcome, diaspora peoples, into your new home among us!". That seems to be the Dwarven point of view, although I can't find any references to Fresia's take on things. Alexandria's hold across the Mainland stage would mean that the mandate as a bit more weight than the Christian analog
Petara -> The usual Turkey/Persia mashup from around when Constantinople was a pretty nice place by comparison to the rest of the world
Sidhe-Praxen -> Elves--ultra-isolationist and essentially a non-entity except through Petara's trade monopoly. Take pre-Perry Japan and replace the Imperialist bent with an anarcho-democratic commune sort of thing (because Elves always have some anarcho-democratic commune sort of thing going on)
Gildenhome -> Dwarves--mildly isolationist, but with a big presence in the Alexandrian fold that keeps them internationally relevant, and a big merchant/trading thing going on. Kind of like the Germany of today, a strong financial base and export-driven economy driving paternalistic nationalism with international participation with unity of purpose, in contrast to Fresia's relative chaos
Ulan -> Steppes barbarians of vaguely Mongolian/Cossack bent
Halflings -> Romani, more-or-less
The Bandit Kingdom -> Any of a number of failed states throughout history
Temporal Authority -> The Vatican
Po -> Basically China, but only important to the Silverwalkers in any case
Utrell -> ???
I think that covers the main Almanack regions, and all of the regions that are in play right now, but I might be missing some. -Slitherrr (talk)
