This might come from Show!LF gradually sliding into Character Exaggeration rather than being one from the start. Show!LF generally shares Book!LF's Faux Affably Evil Villain with Good Publicity characterization until he betrays Ned Stark, after which the show writers seem to have decided not fooling the audience is the same as not fooling the characters and made him an Obviously Evil Devil in Plain Sight whom Tyrion sums up by asking, "Is there a fool in any village who trusts Littlefinger?" If he had had this reputation from the start, even Ned would have been leery of him.

especially when you consider the Karstarks and other Stark derived Houses as likely the result of Gavelkind Law. From there the Riverlands is Poland, King's Landing is Southern Europe, the Vale is Greece, the Storm Land's becomes something akin to France, and Dorne is a combination of Spain and Morocco and so on.

I haven't seen anything Russian about the North, nor Polish about the Riverlands, nor Greek about the Vale. We haven't even seen Dorne in the show yet.

I'm not seeing this. LF has always been a smug, smirking, Machiavellian little shit. I think the only difference is that we're seeing more deeply into his plans in the latest season.
