It ties in with the country being called Gallia and all. |

When I played the game, Caesar's campaign into inner Gaul was the first thing that popped into my mind the moment I saw Max. It wasn't long until the official VC blog confirmed this.

Its not difficult to pinpoint the location of Gallia, really. Gallia in fact, covers present-day Lithuania and bits of Russia. Nordic countries do not exist in the fictional VC universe. On the other hand, while Gallia's court may have been heavily inspired by historical France (c'mon, Napoleon on unicorn?), there can be no mistake that its military is definitely German.

Unfortunately, the Federation was largely absent from the game. I am hoping that they do make a presence in the second game, though.
