Line 447:
* The Special Stage courses in the ''[[Gran Turismo]]'' series are based on real routes of the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo, and Route 7 includes a replica of the Rainbow Bridge, which can also be seen in the background on Route 11.
* The world of ''[[The Witcher]]'' series (and the novels the games are based on) is based heavily on [[Slavic Mythology]] and [[Poland|Polish culture]]. Many of the various lands and factions have Central and Eastern European parallels, with [[The Empire]] clearly based on the [[Holy Roman Empire]] right down to the Germanic names.
* In ''[[Dishonored]]'', Dunwall is clearly based on London at the time of the Great Fire of 1666 mixed with the Victorian era and a dash of [[Half-Life 2|City 17]] for good measure. The Empire of the Isles is also evidently modelled on [[The British Empire]] (with the isle of Morley basically an ersatz blend of Ireland and Scotland), though some of the constituent islands are based on various European countries.
