* LovecraftLite: Once there was a living consciousness of a world that became regularly besieged by malicious alien beings. Fleeing to another reality, it settled on Earth in the form of a country and rewrote memories so everyone believed it had always existed and they always lived there. While the characters are more worried about the hostile forces following it, they're understandably just as taken aback by the implications of a being that can slip into Earth in the form of an entire country and make people believe it's always been there.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Siancong is essentially a thinly-veiled expy of Vietnam, a former French colony in Asia that underwent a major conflict that ended in a communist victory. Additionally, Marvel characters that were historically tied to the Vietnam War such as Iron Man and the Punisher were established in ''History of the Marvel Universe'' to have fought in the fictional Siancong War.
