I assume we need to keep all of the info. in one thread instead of creating a whole bunch of them.
I'll start adding stuff little by little.

FourKingdoms
The kingdoms that make up the main continent and focal point of the early to mid parts of the story.
Milithien
Milithien is the western-most of the four kingdoms. The topography and geography is based on that of the UK and Ireland.
Atlatrona
Atlatrona is the southern-most of the four kingdoms. Topography and geography is based on southern France, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Zostrova
Zostrova is the eastern-most of the four kingdoms. Topography and geography based on central and eastern Europe.
NyttVoldenskagg
Nytt Voldenskagg is the northern-most of the four kingdoms. Topography and geography based on both central and northern Europe.

Rydios
Rydios is an island to the south of the four kingdoms. It's topography and geography is based on that of southern Italy and Greece. It's culture is a combination of ancient Greek and ancient Roman. Once a powerful empire, Rydios was destroyed by a giant earthquake and is now an island covered with ruins. It's a hot spot for treasure hunters, historians and archaeologists alike.

Osyrica
Osyrica is oldest human empire in existence. It's topography and geography are based on northern Africa and the Middle East. The culture is based on a combination of ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia.
Sanguinestos
Sanguinestos is the homeland of the vampires. It's topography and geography is based on central Europe. The culture is based on a combination of Slavic (particularly Romania and Hungary) as well as Bavarian in the far south.
Voldenskagg
Voldenskagg is the northernmost human country, just beneath the arctic circle. It's topography and geography is based on the northernmost parts of Scandinavia. It is heavily forested and spends much of the year in the winter season. It's culture is based loosely on the Vikings. It is the home of the werewolf shape-shifters. Nytt Voldenskagg takes it's nameplace from this country. Raiding parties from Voldenskagg landed on the shores of this loosely governed territory and conquered the lands all the way into the very northern portion of the kingdom of Zostrova. The Zostrovians then engaged in a ten years war with the newly formed Kingdom of Nytt Voldenskagg and managed to reclaim some of it's territory.
The southernmost sections of Nytt Voldenskagg, Eisen-schild (Iron Shield) and Eisen-schwert (Iron Sword) were named as such given the ferocity of armies of Nytt Voldenskagg which repelled wave after wave of Zostrovian invaders, eventually leading to a Zostrovian retreat and the subsequent end of the ten years war.
The capital of Rode-Skog (red forest) is named so due to the slaughter of the native inhabitants during the conquest and formation of Nytt Voldenskagg.
