The world by region

Albland

• Allsaxony (green) — Großwestsachsen. In using English rather than a West Saxon-derived conlang I am of course merely following the example of using one language to represent another, fictional one set by a certain childhood friend marrier and holder of the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professorship.
• Caitland (Caitish: Cataibh) (turquoise) — Dalriadan gf Bernician bf
• Cumberland (Cumbrish: Cumbry) (brown) — In our world, Cumbric died out and Welsh lived; here, it's the other way round. [Language: Cumbraek.]
• Monkchester (blue) — The privileges of the Haliwerfolc have been much abused over the centuries by coal merchants and slave traders; though Monkchester itself was no slave port (not later on anyway), there is not a building in the city unstained with the trade's blood. Best known today for the antics of its Lord President's social media influencer son.

Northwestern Continent

• Gow (Gowsh: Gouw) (rose) — 21st-century mercantile Protestant republicanism. Once had the world's greatest colonial empire, now its largest financial services industry.
• Roland (grey) — Normans without the Latin influence, basically; they use English names because it's funny. "nooo that's not how languages work!!!" Don't care.
• (blue) — Franks. [Language: Luxembourgish.]
• (yellow) — Germans.
• (green) — Frisians.
• (burgundy) — Burgundians. [Language: Use revived Gothic as stand-in?]

!Iberia

• (green) — Visigoths. [Language: Use revived Gothic as stand-in?]

Eastern Continent/!Anatolia

• (blue) — Dalmatian-speaking country.
• (gold) — Wow your Byzantines are Rhomanians? Ours are Romanians.
