Post 23 - TV Show Setting

               Shockingly, one of my favorite shows is Game of Thrones. It is based in the fictional country of Westeros and about 1/5 of the time is in Essos. Westeros is interesting because it's not entirely fictional. It's really just Great Britain turned upside down Ireland placed on top of it. Plot-wise it also makes sense because the story is based on the real-life War of Rose in the mid 15th century, which saw battles for the throne of England between House of Lancaster and House of York (Lannister and Stark)
