Jubilee Royale takes place in Almance, a classic pseudo-medieval fantasy world. There are four countries that Cybil will visit over the course of her journey:

• Lyndith is a small island off the coast of northern Flaucinia, with plenty of arable land. Though Cybil hates to admit it, her kingdom doesn't have that much sway in the grand scheme of things.
• Flaucinia is a trade hub along the ocean, full of beautiful forests and marshes. The people live, dress, and eat extravagantly, leading to the stereotype that they're party animals with no sense of responsibility.
• Atlium is a military superpower, its terrain rugged and mountainous. Things like lineage mean little here - you are judged solely by your successes and shunned for any signs of laziness.
• Barona is a snowy tundra at the northernmost tip of Almance. It's recovering from a civil war that destroyed much of the country a decade ago, and tensions remain between the two factions involved.

In the world of Almance, magic is fairly commonplace. The type of magic that somebody can use is determined by their affinity, which is a natural connection to a particular element. The known affinities are fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, life, and shadow. Those who possess an affinity can manipulate that element by using spells. Affinities can also cause passive side effects - for example, Vera's fire affinity makes her resistant to getting scorched at work.
