>>16066I thought the dad was from East germany and the agency is based on the Stasi, but maybe that is my bias. There was some mention of one man insulting the socialism of the other side but I don't remember the details. The author has said that it is loosely based on things he knows and has heard, so the event described aren't gonna match the historical West and East Germany. At the end of the day is a "war bad" story, and I don't say that as a bad thing. It will probably end in "reunification" with peace, and maybe there is a little war before to add drama to the finale.

Ostania is fictionalized East Germany and Westania is fictionalized West Germany. To make it more clear East in German is Osten. It likely was chosen as a basis merely because Germany was involved in WWI and WWII which even people not real familiar with history know so the point of the plot is preventing WWIII and may not necessarily be political beyond that. The secret police are based on both that of the Stasi and the Gestapo. Loid is from Westania working for their inteligence agency while Yor and Anya from Ostania if I understand correctly.

I've only watched the adaptation but it seems like both sides are portrayed as believing they're the good guys saving the world from the other side.

>>16082Look up population age distribution. Japan is the only one that has way more 80 year olds than kids. I'm all for populations cutting back around the world but Japan's seems to be quite rappid and a sign of their insane work lives. Though the fact they live on an island also likely plays a role. Perhaps certain population densities makes people not feel an urge to have kids as much.

Curious that he didn't chose a north-south divide emulating korea. Being closer I imagine japanese would know more but at the same time they are a US colony. Maybe he is just fascinated with western history just like western authors make movies game and novels inspired loosely by japanese history.

I mean it in terms of appearance when I say they're basically the same,Anya is unironically more interesting than the sad medusa,the generic buff dude that everyone suck off and is too strong is just balanced by his father issues (that get immediatly resolved) and the woman just follow them with no real personality to talk about,she just look like she isn't generic because of her face.

>>16068 says. This isn't even contradictory as propaganda gives people an excuse to believe what they are doing is right.
On top of this Yor was a child soldier working as an assassin to support her brother, and Loid may have been as well, at very least a volunteer due to the devastation of his home (obvious reference to bombing in England in his back story).
Anya and the dog are both products of military funded experimentation.
