Actaea

Revan said that the setting takes place in 2015 and will most likely be almost identical to our reality, except for the states.

That's why I wrote "still."

It's possible that selective characteristics will be taken into account when creating the setting, and it also depends on the atmosphere. In a fantasy setting, there are no cars. If we take my country and think about what indicators are at a high level there, I would describe it like this: A country with good weapons, medicine, education, and developed science. The citizens are religious and law-abiding, and crime is low. The environment is one of the best in the region, and among the industries, fishing is the most developed, and something else. And since I am number one in trout fishing, if our characters go to a restaurant in another country and order fish, the menu might say that it was imported from my country. Well, we catch it and sell it to our neighbors who don't do it. And since this is well-developed in my country, it probably has a large border with the sea or ocean. Based on these parameters, we can distribute the countries on the map.
