The map of the world in Elizabeth's Story. There are six major countries, and two minor ones.
Major Countries:
Seracaelain - A country loosely based on the United States, primarily the East Coast. Currently a constitutional republic, but was once a monarchy before the country was occupied by Duznya to the north. The country won its war of independence and has been a constitutional republic for centuries now.
Duznya - A country loosely based on Eastern Europe and Russia. Point of origin for Mila. Top-down design; governance akin to imperial Russia, ruled by an absolute monarch. Historically, the strongest power on the map; despite the independence of a once conquered Seracaelain and the worker’s revolt of Arbejord, it still remains the dominant power in the region, at least on land. Politically has the reputation of being an outsider, as there is more to the country in the north outside the scope of the visible map.
Hirkaigan - A country loosely based on Japan and east Asia. Top-down design. A constitutional monarchy. A mostly neutral state, which prides itself in its competition with Marnacao as the primary sea-faring trading power in the region.
Sablieu - A matriarchal country, consisting of four main landmasses, with a pinch of French flavor. Bottom-up design governed through aristocracy and constitutional monarchy. Historically the second largest power within the scope of the setting that tries to keep Duznya in check. Took advantage during Seracaelain’s war of independence by declaring war on Duznya, leading to Duznya to sue for peace. The Cult originates from here, long ago in the past when its founders were once part of the nobility and aristocracy, before they were exiled. Seracaelain took the nobility that was part of the cult in as asylum seekers. The aristocracy, which acts as the executive power of the country, has a penchant for antiquated noble traditions, "placing emphasis on the weight of a given landed elite and their ability to opulently clothe said weight as a means of showing regional wealth & influence."
Marnacao- A democratic federation of states to the south consisting of a large coast line, centered on a series of cities located on a large peninsula. A bottom up design. The other strong maritime trading power in the region aside from Hirkaigan. Provided assistance during Seracaelain’s war of independence, and maintains that friendly relationship to this day.
Arbejord - A syndicalist, socialist republic state in the far north east that was once controlled by Duznya, but rebelled through the cooperation of unions, who formed their own government where unions dual function as political factions. Where Seracaelain broke from Duznya long ago, this state broke away within recent history; the most tension between any two states in the world lies between Duznya and Arbejord.
Minor Countries:
Tairahar - A thalassocratic dual city state; a nomadic nation founded under the open sea and built upon the backs of extremely large Pokemon, including Kyogre and Wailord, with an atoll island settlement that acts as the home to their embassy and reception for those who live on land. Another constitutional monarchy.
Vescourt - One of the many small islands near Seracaelain, with a top-down design based on Great Britain. Sylvie [technically] comes from here; this is also where Elizabeth’s ancestors immigrated from, leading to her mild accent; the accent is stronger in her parents.
