Nobody is wondering but here's a thread on how Enbarr's architecture and clothing relate mostly to the Eastern Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire). *Que Constinople
Let's start with Emperor Ionius X. His costume is almost a direct replica, down to the very same fibulae of the mosaics for Emperor Justinian the Great (reigned 527 - 565). The wear and pattern placement in Ionius X costume is fashioned after royal togas of this era.
"The city of Enbarr predates the founding of the Adrestian Empire in Imperial Year 1, and it is said that Saint Seiros first appeared near Enbarr and began working her miracles in the region, such as a canal that runs through the city is a lifeline for the capital's development-
When Wilhelm Paul Hresvelg founded the Empire and became its first emperor, he chose Enbarr as his nation's capital due to the presence of Seiros." Ok this story is a little familiar. We can look at the Basilica of St. John which was built in Ephesus.
The legend of this place is that Christ and the apostles visited St. John before his death, and the church was constructed over his tomb. The wild things is this church was commissioned by Justinian the Great and where is Ephesus? In the region of Ionia (now Anatolia, Turkey).
Another connection to the Byzantine empire is that Enbarr architecture borrows from Hagia Sophia and the walled city of Istanbul.
The Byzantine Empire was also famous for almost constantly being at war. Lastly, both Istanbul and Enbarr are located in lower regions of their maps, are by the sea, and are port cities.
This could really be its own entire post but I'll mention (as brought to my attention) yes the flag of Adrestia and the Byzantine flag are basically the same. The double headed Eagle can be traced very far from Holy Roman Empire, Romanovs to Mycenaean culture.
