Canadian Systems

[P*Funk]

Please keep in mind that Disco is NOT based on the countries of Earth. They are more aligned along general categories. More groups of people rather than "patriotic" country attachments. Otherwise why don't we just rename Liberty to America.

They didn't name them literally because thats boring. Its a game, its a new universe so they extrapolate the existing national balance that you see in the 20thC and apply it to a space game but give it slightly different national names because... well its what writers tend to do. Its saying this is like this but its not exactly. Its a new universe but the naming says that these are based on X origins.

But though the names of the houses aren't the same as in our world they are directly extrapolated from the US, Britain, Japan, and Germany. Their systems are all contained in the national borders of their present day equivalents and if you look at Bretonia you'll even see that Dublin sits just outside of her borders like she does today apros pos Ireland and the whole mess that happened there.

Furthermore the systems of government represent these nations, generally speaking as an incarnation from about 60 to 150 years ago. The Libertonians however are definitely representative of present day USA. The fact that every capital is named for the present day capitals says something.

The Houses are drawn across national lines. The only exception to this was the Hispania which was a grouping of Hispanic cultures, though I imagine if they'd made them a proper settled house that didn't fracture it would have ended up being Mexico.

EDIT. @Trackpad. I don't think you're right. We know where we all came from. The French have routinely had wars with the Germans for control of who Charlemagne belongs to, the historians are always trying to rewrite it. I know I came from Europe, I know that if I ever named a planet I'd likely name it Skye for where my scottish roots are. 800 years isn't that long really, there are family trees that go back that far.
