Based on your own culture, where would you be from in XIV?

Trump's 'Murica is Garlemald 100% lol

Garlemald would be Russia. Not America. If you want to be intellectually honest about it. Trump hasn't started any wars or taken over any territories, has he?


My father grew up on a farm in Minnesota so he would be from Ishgard/Coerthas. My mom and I were both born in San Diego, CA so inbetween Ul'dah and Limsa I think.

Of course in the story, my home is Ishgard.

Do Economic wars count?

Anyway, yes Garlemald is more Russia, a country that masters the world's technology. Putin's Russia has invaded Ukraine, Georgia, and Chechnya in the last 20 years. So yeah.

Limsa Lominsa is probably the Caribbean if you focus on pirates.
Gridania is closer to Canada (more likely Atlantic Canada or Quebec) due to the forests.
Ishgard is like a cold Vatican City due to the religious overtones.
Ul'dah is more like Turkey
Kugane is essentially Japan, but more like Hong Kong for how it's arranged as neutral ground.

Garlemald would be Russia. Not America.

Is there a difference these days? lol...

On a serious note though I've always figured Garlemald to be a cross between America, Rome, and Nazi Germany.
