There are two vital elements to remember here. It may also be partly inspired by the Western world regarding names etc.) The United part likely refers to the then more often than not, happy(ish) union of nations composing Yugoslavia. In the 1980’s, Yugoslavia’s official name was “The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia”. United Federation- Yugoslavia (Many people talk about this being neither the US or Russia, and I don’t see why.

This nation is also said to be paossibly inspired by eastern nations, but in my predictions, I’ve attempted to ensure all the nations are on the same real continent). In the 80’s an election was won by the a Conservative Party, leading to change, making them more likely to criticise Arstotzka (East Germany), as they do on day 18/19, with trade restrictions. Impor- Bulgaria (Bulgaria is similar to the USSR in some ways, and certainly was pre-1980, but culturally is more similar to both Turkey and Yugoslavia. This is where it is important to recognise it isn’t exactly our universe). However it is also based around the recovery of a war with Antegria (Hungary), but the last war with them both on opposing sides was in 1919. The only thing confusing me is in that game, a notable event is the internet is first invented, which suggests it is set in the 1960’s. In the game “Republia Times”, often viewed as being set in the same universe. Republia- Romania (The name bares a striking resemblance, and is located underneath Antegria. Obristan- USSR (It geographically makes sense and fits in with the rest of the map).Īntegria- Hungary (Was pretty much a soviet puppet, and at one point in the game, is referred to as much worse than Arstotzka (East Germany), this makes sense as in the 80’s Hungary went through a lot of economic troubles.) Kolechia- West Germany (Shares its east border with Arstotzka (East Germany), and is often referred to as a much better place, the character has the option to escape there at the end of the game to escape Arstotzka’s (West Germany’s) regime.

Arstotzka- East Germany (Most likely communist, has a physical border wall on a border).
