It's Death from the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett.

Discworld countries that are analogue to our world. Do you agree with this?

Europe & Central Asia

- Ankh-Morpork: A chaotic, mercantile city-state mixing elements of 18th-century London, 19th-century New York, Tallinn, and Prague . It’s the Disc’s version of a major global hub.

- Lancre: A tiny, mountainous kingdom based on rural northern England (especially Lancashire), with echoes of the Scottish Highlands, Swiss Alps, and Appalachians . Famous for witches and folklore.

- Überwald: A spooky, mountainous region inspired by Transylvania, Southern Germany (Bavaria), Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, and Romania. Home to vampires, werewolves, and Igors.

- Borogravia & Zlobenia: Small, war-torn states reflecting the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Eastern European borderlands.

Middle East, North Africa & Beyond

- Klatchian Empire: A large, multi-ethnic empire resembling medieval Arabic states and the Ottoman Empire, with influences from India and the Near East .

- Djelibeybi: An ancient, river-based kingdom that is a clear parody of Ancient Egypt (the name is a pun on "jelly baby" and means "Child of the Djel," echoing Egypt as the "gift of the Nile") .

- Ephebe: The Disc’s equivalent of Classical Greece, particularly Athens, known for philosophers, democracy, and togas .

- Omnia: A rigid theocracy inspired by revolutionary Iran and Inquisition-era Spain, with a desert landscape and strict religious doctrine.

- Tsort: A wealthy, ancient kingdom paralleling Troy and other Near Eastern civilizations, famous for the "Tsortan War" (a parody of the Trojan War) .

- Howondaland: A vast jungle region analogous to Sub-Saharan Africa, with Mesoamerican influences from the Tezumen Empire (which echoes the Aztecs) .

- D’regs: Nomadic people similar to the Tuareg of the Sahara .

Asia & Far East

- Agatean Empire: A vast, isolated empire on the Counterweight Continent, blending elements of Imperial China and feudal Japan (the name references the "Jade Empire" of China).

- Ting Ling: A smaller nation with more specific parallels to Japan and Thailand.

Oceania & Other

- Fourecks (XXXX): An island continent that is an affectionate parody of Australia, complete with red deserts, dangerous wildlife, and a laid-back culture.

- The Hub: Icy, mountainous lands analogous to the Himalayas, polar regions, and Scandinavia, with people resembling Vikings

EDIT

I left out The Tezuman Empire = Aztecs and Incas.

​Klatch = Ottoman Empire, the Middle East, North Africa, and a bit of Moorish Spain

Omnia and Ephebe. Greece and the Middle East??
