Free Cities and Leazas are just western Fantasy. Leazas is a country and Free Cities is just an easy way of saying a whole bunch of independent cities. There is no indication in KR and 03 (the games where Rance actually visits a lot of the Free Cities) of any group or alliance between the different cities beyond unifying to help fight off the Helman invasion.

JAPAN is Japan and along with Helman = Russia the super easy connection to make.

Pencilcow and the Kalar Forest are just "totally not" fantasy elves.

Likewise the monster realm has no real world counterpart because its just that generic place full of monsters and shit that exist in lots of fantasy. The Continent's version of Mordor.
