A quick half-chapter describing the nations we know about so far (plus a couple others) and a bit of the world geography. Time to work on 5!

After taking over Rodenius, they plan to keep increasing their military power in order to challenge the three major civilizations. Fillades continent - Located northwest of Rodenius, affiliated with the Third Civilization. Papaldia Empire
One of the five superpowers, strongest country in the Third Civilization. In recent years, it has been trying to extend influence into Rodenius for unknown reasons. Central World - A continent located west of Fillades, known as the Central World in this world, affiliated with the First Civilization. Includes two of the five superpowers. Holy Mirishial Empire

One of the five superpowers, strongest country in the Second Civilization. In a world that reveres magic, they are exploring the usefulness and power of mechanical technology. The Eighth Empire
An emerging nation that suddenly appeared from the northwest of the Mu continent. Quickly subjugated a small island country. Declared war on the Second Civilization. Known to conduct horrific acts. Further details unknown. Other There are many island groups, larger islands, and subcontinents in this world, but since they are outside of the three major civilizations, they are largely considered uncivilized. While many of these countries are in their Middle Ages, none of them have ties to each other, and their rate of development is poor. Later, it will be discovered that this planet is larger than Earth, and the area currently known to humans and demihumans are bracketed by what are called the "Eastern edge" and "Western edge."

After Japan has launched its satellite, this outline will be updated to reflect the entire world.
