Places in "Running of the Bulls"

While a few countries identified by name in the story "Running of the Bulls", Harry Turtledove only provides enough detail about those countries to make clear which OTL countries they are analogs of.

Astilia
Astilia is an analog of Spain (Castilla, along with Aragon, were the two kingdoms that became the nucleus of modern Spain). Much of the story is actually set in the Astilian city of Amblona, where the characters participate in the running of the bulls.

Astilians worship the bull-god Thimras (analog for Mithras). The Skeuaran people reside within Astilia's borders, and speak a very old very difficult language (these are analogous to the Basques; the native name for their language is Euskera).

Dubyook
Dubyook is an analog of the United States. It is a young country, located on the other side of an ocean from Ecnarf. The most common language is Dunlinese. Baek Jarns and Obert Ohn hail from Dubyook, both having fought during an analog of World War I, and then opting to remain in Ecnarf rather than return home.

The admins of this wiki do not quite see the connection between the name "Dubyook" and the "United States" or "America".

Dunlin
Dunlin is an analog of the United Kingdom. It is located on the other side of the Sleeve from Ecnarf. Ett Brashli and Kime Kelbam both hail from Dunlin.

The name "Dunlin" appears to be a phonetic anagram of London, the capital of the UK.

Ecnarf
Ecnarf is an analog of France ('Ecnarf' is 'France' spelled backwards). Baek Jarns, Obert Ohn, Ett Brashli and Kime Kelbam all resided in Ecnarfish capital of Sirap after an analog of World War I ended.
