I know that this isn't the sort of thing that everyone's talking about right now, and the recent issues with trivia make this a little muddled (I think it qualifies and it has enough evidence but that's me) but with this PV reveal of the aesthetics and other features of the Magic Kingdom Levianta I'd like to propose it added to the trivia that, associations with Russia or not, the ancient kingdom is inspired by Rome. Reasons:

-Buildings that are strongly reminiscent of Roman architecture (both the pillars in the temple and the arches/barrel vaults near the end of the song were often used in Roman buildings)

-Ruled by a Senate in addition to a queen (the actual word for Senate used is the same Japanese word for the Roman Senate in particular)

-Massive control over a wide range of countries with a great deal of cultural influence among them.

-Cast part of the world into a sort of dark age when the kingdom fell, and was much more advanced than the centuries following it.

-Origin of the Levin religion (Christianity began in a Roman territory and eventually led to there being a Christian emperor.)

-A focus on the idea that it was once a proud kingdom that was destroyed under its own extravagance. (as well the backstabbing and assassinations in vying for the position of ruler, one of Rome's noted features after it became an empire).

I mean, the trivia saying it's Russia is that it has slavic names and a cold climate. I think this is enough evidence in my opinion to say definitively that Rome is the intended culture being drawn on in its past.
