Man, you forgot to put Youko in Asward! And why Shiho is in Caldear and Florence? if you don't mind me to ask

Fixed! ^_^ As for the later, I think it was because Shiho was originally from Cardair, but then took Akane's place as Florence's Otome. It's been a while since I read Shiho Huit's background, so I could be wrong. Haha.

Shiho was originally from Cardair, but then took Akane's place as Florence's Otome.

You're right, she is form Cardair even if she's Florence Otome.

This is a very good guide! needed it for my fanfiction thank you so much!

Uh does it matter where Shiho is from or where she's staying now? She's the maki maki girl! lol

Just wanted to point out that I think Cardair / Carlteya / Caldear whatever they're calling it this week is really supposed to be Chaldea.

When the Childs start to invade in the final episode of Zwei, the name "CHALDEA" is shown in monitor broadcasting the status of Kazuya's country. There's also the fact that Chaldea is the name of an actual ancient country (a later form of Babylon) built between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Ancient country on the shore of the Tigris river.

Protected by a catgirl Otome.

Get it?

Pfft, originally I did a load of research about this and found out bits and pieces all over the place, however, some of these are a little edgy.

Windbloom ~ Tokyo/England (My birth-city, Nottingham's architecture is quite similar to the Windbloom Kingdom's.

Also, a note over to the Windsor Fire. (Windsor is based in London).

The Windbloom Castle fire/Aswad/Sifr, Bruce and Lena's death, etc - 14 years ago.

Windsor Fire: November, 1992 - Otome finished: March, 2006 - 14 years ago.

Windsor/Windbloom - Wind. Windsor lost priceless history along with the older section of the castle whilst Windbloom lost their royal family.

I'll update this eventually, but for a quick reference onto other nations.

Windbloom - England with Tokyo and Arab references.

Aries - America (New York).

Florince - France.

Cardair - Greece/Israel/Germany/Iraq (King Argos - The ancient city of the Greek Argos - Fiar Grosse: Fiar - Israeli, Grosse - Germanic).

@ Abicion ~ Its more than likely due to the original fan translations, if I remember in the official DVD set of Otome the translation was Cardair as well, but I'll be watching it again soon so I'll be able to check (I'm sure I remember it being swapped between Cardair and Chaldea in the manga however. But I'd rather say Cardair since then there won't be confusion to readers when I say it, unlike its other version, Chaldea which I've never actually seen been put into any FF or doujinshi, when the kanji for the nations are translated into English they come out ever so oddly. E,g; English - Garderobe, whilst the kanji looks something like this: Guardurobe, I can't exactly remember it but it did appear like this at some point, and then throughout the anime and manga it was changed here and there. Note - The school was put as Garderobe in both the anime and manga shortly after both dimensions were aired.

Lutecia Kingdoms: Romulus and Remus - The wolf twin founders of Rome.

Zipang - Japan (The Asians used to call ancient Japan, Zipang).

An Nam - Ancient Vietnam.

Schwartz - The Nazi' believed the Atlantians were from Norway-they believed the people of Atlantis were the true super race. (Valkyrie are from Norse myth who would bring fallen warriors to Valhalla, the training hall for Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods/End of the World) - Valkyrie: Supreme over the Otome.

Artai Principality - China/Russia: There is a location on the border of China in Russia which is called Altai. Sergay - Russian, Wang - Chinese.

Taiyun, Kingdom of the Sun (Sakura's nation) (Or perhaps Taiwan or Taiyuan? However Sakura's clothes are purely feudal Japanese) - I believe this might be a realm in Zipang which is independent: World War II Japan(?) - The Japanese Navy have the flag which has the sun rays - possible reference to the "Land of the Sun, the Sun giving birth to Japan, etc).

Kingdom of M___ (WARNING: Might not be canon - Mayha's nation) - Right now I'm not using the research which I've put down over the years, but I do remember seeing Mayha's nation background somewhere, however, only in name. However, due to how Mayha is in physical appearance, which seems to be a clash of Arabic and Indian her nation shall definitely have this also.

Garderobe State - Classic French/British breeding with Arabic hints in architecture.

Kruger State (WARNING: Might not be canon) - Definitely German; no given reference. (I have found a chart which might show the nation which Natsuki was from, however it is a long process since I've only translated the names of the characters so far).

The Black Valley - Horn of Africa/Death Valley(?).
