| Sora no Woto world seems to be amalgamation of different cultures. We see a Spanish town, with French names and language, with a Japanese school room, South African owl, etc. What more can we say about all of this? |

Cute Japanese and European teenage girls, wearing Wehrmacht uniforms, exploring a Japanese school in a Spanish town full of French people who make glassware on Switzerland's French border, following a Shinto-Christian religion with a miko-nun, treating tropical diseases only children get, accepting yen as currency while not being able to read kanji, celebrating Spanish traditions mixed with Chinese New Years legends, shooting at African owls - that try to keep them away from schoolgirl ghosts - with German rifles, while piloting a multi legged, demon slaying, weather reporting, stealth and sniper mode capable, AMAZING GRACE SINGING, engrish speaking, 200mm coil gun firing "son of the god of fire" supertank from the past (aka Tank-kun). I think that about covers it. |
| Eeee .... great war and the country borders have changed and the people fled before the war, and we have such an effect. |

| My take on this is that the habitable areas of the world have decreased to the point that survivors from multiple cultures are condensed into small areas of land, leading to multicultural traditions and institutions, but nobody remembers what the world was like before no-man's land anyway... |

| In a the classroom scene there were books with hirakana. The idea of knowing other languages is also gone. I think even reading and writing skills are at a minimum, if that. |

Its a post apocalyptic Japan where they reformed with European names/cultures. Its 8th century European politics and super technologically advanced Japan was their ancient Rome. |
