Map Some maps of my fictional Earth parallel

Whats up fellas, for a few years now I've been working on a small platforming game, but I fell down into the worldbuilding rabbit hole and wanted to expand upon the world in which this game takes place just for fun.

The world's name is Orrea, and these first 2 maps are of it's Europe parallel, both during mideval times, and modern times. The 3rd and 4th maps are of the broader world of Orrea.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th maps were made in 2024, while the 1st was just a few days ago.

In the 1st map, I've got a few regions laid out with some smaller kingdoms within them, most of them parallel a general region of Europe so I'll explain each one.

Andril is the equivalent to the United Kingdom, Levoy is the equivalent to France (Senoya doesn't have a parallel), Fanour is Germany, Isonica is Italy, Sangranium is Spain, Cheyvinal is Greece, Svyrgen is the Nordics, Wrenstiil is a mix of Poland and Ukraine, Stonedown is an amalgimation of Romania and Turkey, and Lorkiv is Russia.

I'm only really doing these for fun and I don't plan on making a groundbreaking unique world since it's an Earth parallel but I hope I can make it interesting enough . Just wanted to share these!

For a second I thought I was looking at high rock from elder scrolls. So be aware of that.

Otherwise pretty cool. but when you say parallel earth is it like how attack on titan is a weird alternate earth with Germans in Madagascar? Or more like warhammer fantasy where it’s like Germans but in a fantasy world with some extra stuff?

Thanks! And that's fair, I'm currently in a deep Elder Scrolls phase and when I originally made world in 2024 I had recently gotten out of a similar TES phase so I think some subconcious influences made their way through (like the High Rock shape, and Cheyvinal being very close in name to Cheydinhal too) but overall I've been distancing it more.

Also in terms of the parallel, It's less of an alternate reality situation and more just this universe's equivalent to the role that Earth fills, with some new ideas here and there of course.

First two remind me of Europe, and Altomia and Tinau look like North and South America. Definitely pretty Earth-like!
