Line 468:
** the Eternal Empire is based on ancient Rome judging by the ruins it left behind, and many of its historical figures have Roman-sounding names (Chitus, Icius Perandus, Victario, Izaro...). Also fell to internal political conflicts and ultimately got crushed by the Karui.
** the Vaal, first civilization of Wreaclast, are based on Mayincatec for the most part, with nearly the same architecture and clothing style, a cult revolving around flesh and blood, and human sacrifices. The Vaal very likely destroyed themselves in a failed ritual that tainted their homeland and turned it into the [[Death World]] it is in the game.
* Possibly the dwarves in ''[[Raid: Shadow Legends]]'' are Swedish or Norweigan counterparts, given Maulie's accent in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATPW03Sthgc&list=PLDpZdP4i5RSD4U4SCHnHWcJoMU3NmFX0a&index=19 this commercial.]

* ''[[Open Blue]]'' has the Axifloan Coalition, [[The Federation|a loose alliance]] of colonial powers consisting of everything from a [[Wooden Ships and Iron Men|17th Century]] [[Nazi Germany]] (Sirene), to Imperial Spain (Avelia), to the Dutch colonial powers (Remillia), to the Russian Empire (Yaman)... [[My Friends and Zoidberg|to Switzerland]] (Axiflos).
* Vulpines in the ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'' universe are analogues of modern-day Native Americans. Unfortunately, their depiction is [[Unfortunate Implications|not flattering]].
* The Empire of Soleil from the [[Reincarnation Fantasy|Isekai]] web novel ''[[Tori Transmigrated]]'' is a melting pot composed of quite a few Fantasy Counterpart Cultures, with even more represented elsewhere in the world. Main character Tori is native to the March of Sur, which is vaguely Spanish; other Marches include French-, German- and Nordic-flavored zones, and she is aware of a barony that is basically [[Jane Austen]]-era England, and another which is generic Eastern European/Russian. Soleil is adjacent to Persian and Hindu/Indian-flavored nations, and further away are even more recognizable cultures; Tori, who has been inserted from our world, even tends to think of them inside her head as "Fantasy China", "Fantasy Japan", "Fantasy South America" and so on.
