If Westeros was Europe

Last time i made topic about Westeros=Balkanos, some kind of microcosm. This time about whole Europe:

Reach: France
Dorne: Spain
Iron Islands: British Isles
Stormlands: Poland(?)
Crownlands: Italy
Westerlands: Germany
Riverlands: Ukraine
Vale: Romania(?)
North: Russia
Beyond: Siberia


Some kingdoms are pure copy of european nations, but some hard to compare, like Stormlands, the only unique feature is frequent storms, and in europe that's UK i guess, but they are island, stormlands are not. Vale is mountainous, and Romania have some mountain ranges, but they have/had no knights, like Poland for example (hussars), yet Poland is flat mostly.

Make your list, let's compare.

Maybe vale is scandi

Ukraine or france: reach
Russia: north
Poland: riverlands
Italy: crownlands
UK: westerlands
Germany: stormlands
Swiss: vale
Sweden/Norway/Denmark: iron islands
kazakstan: beyond the wall
Istanbul and Moscow: castle black and eastwatch
Spain: dorne

Dorne is greece

Stormlands are litterly based on Italy. Riverlands are Germany (at least the western part).

But not every kingdom is based on actual nation. the connection between them are feeble. though 4nic showed some solid abilities to find parallels.

White walker is syria xd

Poland doesn't have large rivers like Ukraine or Riverlands, and it it's not on good terms with Russia(Stark-Tully relation) so i thought pre-coup Ukraine(Stark-Frey later) is Riverlands, it has huge river spliting it and Kiev is like Twin Towers.

Kazakhstan is mostly desert and hot climate, typical muslim country, while beyond the wall is always winter.

We know that the riverlands were always a place disputed by the other kingdoms of westeros,it has been under control of the stormlands under king harren of the iron islands, aegons conquest, and it had a few rebbelions but cant remember how they were called
So thats where i got the idea that it could be poland,we all know poland getting conquered by its east and west neighbors for a long time,and its kinda in the middle of europe,just like Riverland is in westeros..
My idea of far east of europe being beyond the wall was that the ural mountains are the wall.
Mongolic peoples are the white walkers

Ah, Poland between Germany and Russia, always conquered, now i understand.

Now when i'm thinking, North is allied to Riverlands AND Vale, plus it is hard to pass through the Neck(Moat Cailin) and those swamps. Makes North pretty formidable.

Reach: Italy
Iron Islands: Denmark
North: Russia
Riverlands: Yugoslavia
Dorne: Spain
Westerlands: Germany
Stormlands: Britain
Crownlands: France
Vale: Austria

Well all of Westeros is basically the British Isles but a lot of inspiration from certain areas come from other European countries yes.

Northumbria
Mercia
Wessex
Essex
