This is when the process of defining nations in fantasy settings is to have each group be under the domain of one kind of magic. The main appeal to this is, naturally, the easy convenience of being able to define who is from what nation, since they'll have the appropriate elemental affinity to go with it, and the trappings of the culture itself will be clearly delineated by that element as well. This is often paired with tropes like [[Single Palette Town]] in order to get the full effect. On the downside, this can sometimes result in a [[Planet of Hats]] situation on a small scale, since all members of a specific nation must, by definition, fit into the general archetypes of their nation's element.
