Because I thought some might be curious, here are the rough inspirations for the various cultures and kingdoms present in Jubilee Royale! I want to make it clear that these are not intended to be perfect 1:1 parallels -- it's a fantasy world and I took some creative liberties when designing these countries and cultures. Some fun details were added that don't apply to any irl counterparts, mainly to ensure that my fantasy worlds wouldn't seem bland and uninspired. Additionally, character names might not always be real names from that culture, because I use a lot of fantasy name generators. But at the same time, I did draw upon certain elements of real-life cultures when designing these kingdoms to ensure that players felt represented, and also to lend them some believability.
I'm always open to feedback and suggestions about these kingdoms to make sure my fantasy worlds make everyone feel welcome! It's a delicate balance to ensure the world of Almance feels fresh and familiar at the same time, and I welcome the expertise of anyone who might belong to any of these backgrounds. :)
