Symbolism in Arcanum: Races and Countries

I'm listening sir but one more things regarding to settlements in Arcanum
- Ashbury: possibly Glastonbury, and i think, Wales
- The Wheel Clan: Shangri-La, as europeans in Victorian era believed as "A city hidden to outsider's eyes"
- Dernholm: one more history regarding to its politics, it should be possibly analogy to
a) China during and after the first opium war. (heavily conservatives, even to the point that its railroad was horse-powered rather than steam ones, due the the fear that the steam engine would disturb Qing's ancestral slumbers.
b) Japan: during the time of Captain Perry, Japan was a feudal state ruled by Shogun, firearms were pretty banned (much like Dernholm's law) and i've read that there were minor clashes between other western dudes and local Japanese lords, some clashes resulted in Japanese castles destroyed by artillery barrage.
- Caladon: Either Scottland or Ireland, both are rooted in Celtic cultures.

 

This made me laugh real hard.
