Real world maps can be custom maps.
You can have a group of people from Turkey, they can speak Turkish and be entirely from that country but call them Turkish and they won’t know what you’re talking about. Because their country/group is named something else— their biome is something else because of the nuclear war or whatever else turned the world from a developing technology to dust.
Another example would be the fact that Blackfall is in Russia right now- we could turn Russia into a 130+ degree desert where no life can form and Siberian tigers are forced into extinction or they migrate and find food sources elsewhere— in France’s streets.
It all comes down to what destroyed the world in the first place and how long ago it was.
The thing with worldbuilding is that it’s completely customizable to those who are creating it!
I hope that cleared up why I’m leaning towards European-based a little more since I’m not sure I really did that in the first place.
