fun fact - they used Polish emblem for the black-haired emperor's country. Seeing how this is some kind of twisted world of our history (with Beethoven, who was real and Sherlock who was fictional) I wonder if the Clowan kingdom is something like Russia (as they are eastern kingdom)
Bear in mind that in the past, Russia had some of the most beautiful castles and amazing culture, with one of the best minds in history (also cruel emperors). It wasn't always such a cultural shit show as it was after Lenin.
