Just a note, Sentry; Anon used has, the present tense. Not the past tense of had.

That, however, is also correct. They have (present tense) less than 5 MAJOR governments.

You need to also remember there's a substantial (but unknown) number of smaller settlements and villages which will all have their own localized chains of command. There's also bandit tribes and nomads to consider which, again, will all have their own local government.

In regards to historical ones; Remnant is an entirely different beast than Earth.

Grimm change everything. Unless it is by hostile takeover; kingdoms in Remnant don't collapse.

They are destroyed. Wiped down to bedrock by; leaving only a rare few ruins lucky enough to escape their wrath. The people can't simply move along, or really rebuild; because they are actively hunted. The ones who do manage to escape have to start over from the ground up. Rebuild EVERYTHING.

We have trouble with finding historical records sometimes. Do you REALLY think a world plagued by beasts whose entire mission statement is "destroy humans and all that they create" is gonna be able to head down to the local library and check out a book on a country that existed 1500 years ago?
