Okay... I need referances here so I'm gonna post all I know and see what other peoples opinions are. I'm gonna use this for a fic eventually and I could use some help :3
Electopia = Japan
Choina = China
Sharro = Russia
Amerope = U.S.A?
Creamland = Greenland/Iceland?
Jawaii = Hawaii
Darkland = ?
So... anything that I'm missing or any ideas on what they are? Cause I am always looking for referances from people who actually know this stuff >.>; _________________ Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF. All my base are belong to you.

I really think there's already a topic about this on a different forum, but I couldn't tell you for sure. But I will try to help by saying that there is no Electopia in the Japanese version... Japan is just simply Japan. Europe also seems to exist, since Yaito moved to Japan from Europe... and furthermore, Mary (from the games)... I believe her mother is from France. _________________

If not the USA, I'd say it is Europe
I think you pretty much have it down. I agree Sharo is deffinatly based off Russia...Creamland? Hm, not sure, Iceland probably (seeing how Iceland is actually green o-o), so I agree with you on that as well.
Darkland....hm... _________________

Amerope/Netopia is both Europe and America.( North and South) Creamland is probably a country IN Netopia, so it might be Greenland/Iceland. :eyes:
Also, Kingland is the EXE version of the United Kingdom and Ireland, not just England.( Or at least, in my opinion it is. -_-; ) _________________ MegaMan Kilobit

I distinctly remember Yaito saying, back in EXE episode 3, that she came from Europe. And Jawaii is obviously Hawaii + Jamaica. But just asking... how do you have a country within a country? I don't think Creamland is within Ameroupe at all. _________________

Pardon me, but isn't Amerope a continet? I mean, it IS a combination of the Americas and Europe, so one could asume that it is a big ol' continet.
Or are there no such things as continets in the EXE universe?! :O _________________ MegaMan Kilobit

It's hard to tell. You can't really use the logic that Europe is a continent to back up that Ameroupe would be one, because it's just as logical that it's not since America isn't a continent. I don't read much into the EXE geography, though... I just try and learn the names. _________________

*cough* Last I check, America IS a continet. In fact, it's two separate ones: North America and South America. -.- I believe you meant that the US is not a continet.
Amerope is a combination of the Americas and Europe. Not just the USA and Europe. Unless someone can just an official fact that it is. :O _________________ MegaMan Kilobit

Just saying America generally means the USA. If it meant either North America or South America, it would get confusing, and one would have to inquire at which one the speaker meant. When's the last time you were talking about South America and simply said "America?" And furthermore, North America and South America are drastically different from one another, and I don't exactly see any rainforests in Ameroupe. It's obviously based off of the USA and Europe. But please stop trying to patronize me with this debate, even if only faintly. No one said this had to get ugly. _________________

Meh, alright. Seems silly to argue about weither it's Both Americas or not. -_-; Say, didn't one member draw a map of his own version of what the EXE universe looks like? ( Or something along those lines?) I think his name was Raijin. :eyes:
Hey, I think there was another topic like this..... It might be on the second page of this forum or so. :/ _________________ MegaMan Kilobit

Neko, you forgot about Netfrica = Africa. Although, I only remember seeing that one in BN 4. Darkland is probably Germany or something. _________________ Church: Are you following any of this?

Those that are not from the United States usually call the continent America. Most of us hispanic talking countries refer to the whole continent as America. And pisses the hell out of us when we're told we're not 'american' because we are. XP
It wouldn't surprise me that Amerope it could very well be both, the European Continent and the American Continent crammed together, it's not the first time that has been done in anime/videogames in the past. _________________ Hecha en MÉXICO - Avatar by Me.

XDD I don't want to drive this one way off topic, so I'll leave it at that. We now return to your scheduled country huntin'

Negative. The continent was called America by cartograph Americo Bespucci. -I'm sure I typoed his last name, >_>;;- when he drew the first map of the newly discovered continent. The country is United States of America. The continent is and forever will be till someone decides to re-name it to something else. Period. Can we go back to discussing the EXE world geography again? _________________ Hecha en MÉXICO - Avatar by Me.

I could swear there was another topic about this too....oh well.
Most of the suggestions made here are mostly right. Seeing as how the game has not named quite a few of the contries of the world, it gives room to hypothesize.
There is Nation Z (I think) , where Dr. Regal hails from. I'm tempted to think it is a poke at the Korean government, what with it being a somewhat military nation, but I am unsure.
I believe it is also Amerigo Vespucci. I'm going to run now before my head is forcibly separated from my torso. _________________ Today, these three players are after Big Bucks!

Since Germany has a place that it is known for called the Dark Forrest, then it is most likely that Darkland could be Germany. That country did occupy a lot of territory in its past, and most of it was forest land if I remember right. I could be wrong though... this is only a theory... _________________

There was another in the past, but waaaaaaay very dead. XD And incredibly spammerific after the 6th page. Neko is simply asking which country/continent is which.
And the problem is in Spanish his name is Americo Bespucci XD let's leave it at the italian dude that got the chance to stamp his name on the damn map. _________________ Hecha en MÉXICO - Avatar by Me.

Well I looked at Pride's concept art from BN5...
..maybe Creamland is actually Scottland? It would make more sense seeing her outfit design saying it was Scottland than it being Iceland/Greenland really. :3
And what about the Nettopia place in BN3? the ally way Raul was hanging in looked alot like LA or something _________________

Core, you were right; way back in the past, Germany was covered with forests all over and over; I believe it was the time when the old Romans came when these forests were cut down (to get rid of the native inhabitants), and from there on, trees fell through the centuries until today *sweatdrops*
There's still the one you mentioned, the Black Forest; but although it might be the base of exe's Darkland, I'd rather think that if Germany was Darkland, then due to its past - as far as I know, all that is known about Darkland is its hostile nature *cough*.
You know.. Germany - past - hostility <<; this will, most probably, haunt us forever..
..a different theory; Darkland is a compendium of countries that lie in the Northern Hemisphere, close to the pole - where you have nights lasting half a year. Six months of darkness could also become a Darkland. Though those countries in said regions aren't hostile and all...
So what if Darkland was not related to an actual country; what if it has been made up to act as a random aggressor, without stepping on anyone's toes? ;) |
