Those I think are easier to guess on due to the glaring cultural similarities with real places, Ala Mhigo (nordic+Mesopotamian flavors), Garlemald (Rome with Dutch naming conventions), and Doma (Japan+pacific islands). While Amdapor strikes me more like the Western Civilization legend of Atlantic mixed with the Eastern Civilization legend of Mu.
Players can look at Rome and make an educated guess on how the DEVs will lay out Garlemald culture. But since Atlantis and Mu are fictional, there is nothing to draw an educated guess from as it is completely the creation of the said DEVs.
