I've been working away at this one for like a month, because I REALLY wanted to do this project justice: a present-day political breakdown of every nation in the game, including real-world inspirations, political structures, and current societal issues.

I ended up having to break it into two because it wound up so long, the Garlean Empire and its previously-occupied territories has to be its own separate video! Still, I'm loving how this turned out, and it's got a bunch of weird, neat facts both in-universe and out to learn from. When we're dipping into 17th century folklore, Greek philosophy, and modern political systems all in the one video, things get kinda nuts!
