Trivia[]

  • The continuously antagonistic relationship between the Balt-Rhein Empire and the United Kingdom of Greater Turkiye might be loosely inspired by the real-life relationship of the Holy Roman Empire with the Ottoman Empire, that got renowned as the two competing main powers of the region before the rise of western European kingdoms. The big difference that separates the two is the motives behind the conflict: while the real-life conflicts mainly revolves around the competition between religions (Ottoman as an Islamic empire and HRE as the leader of Christendom), the conflict in Altair universe revolves largely on the matters of national interest, as the role of religion in the universe is incredibly minor, just acting as a background that is just mentioned occasionally.
  • There is strong resemblances towards Balt-Rhein's capital city St. Michael to real-life Le Mont Saint-Michel.
