<b>Takabayashi:</b> If possible, I didn't want to release this…

<b>Manager G:</b> You don't know when to give up.

<b>Takabayashi:</b> The sizes of the territories are really random so please don't put much faith in the land ratios… please…  But, even though it looks like this, it's the original hand-drawn map with a lot of the writing cleaned up.  There were rivers and mountains all carefully drawn in.  It was like 'I really blew it' or a mistake of my youth.

<b>Manager G:</b> To the left and right of Conanshia there are countries I've never heard of called Narsella, Gresla and Trimea.

<b>Takabayashi:</b> That's because they haven't appeared in the story.  At the time I was thinking up the setting, the area around Conanshia was in the middle of civil war so there are areas here and there that aren't independent yet.  But, I don't think that I'll use them in the future.

<b>Manager G:</b> The former Empire of Zorashia is in the area as well, right?

<b>Takabayashi:</b> Yeah, it's supposed to be there but I didn't draw it in, huh (how careless)

<b>Manager G:</b> And then inside Shin Makoku, the area under the control of the Maou is a weird shape and it's really the best part.

<b>Takabayashi:</b> It's the area where the royal capital is located so I thought that it might be best if it could border as many of the nobles' territories as possible – and this was the result.  But when it comes to Radford and Rochefort, there's really no way for them to border it.

<b>Manager G:</b> Those two and also Gyllenhaal are a bit left out.

<b>Takabayashi:</b> It might be because there are no main characters from there.  Although the southwest area is important in the national defense.  Well, the current king is an eternal pacifist so you would think that there would be less difficulties with border security, but… he's absent a lot so if I had to say, I worry more about the domestic issues.

<b>Manager G:</b> By the way, Luttenberg was there?

<b>Takabayashi:</b> Yeah.  It's 'The Lion's Nose' more so than 'The Tiger's Butt,' lol. <ref>The Lion's Nose and The Tiger's Butt rhyme in Japanese.  'Shishi no hana' 'Tora no ana'  And yes, there really was a Japanese 'lol' there.</ref>

<b>Manager G:</b> If it used to be under the control of the Maou… then, this is a satellite area.

<b>Takabayashi:</b> If it wasn't bordering human lands then even if Second-Son-Father (Dunheely) was granted land, it would have been difficult for him to shelter humans and mazoku relatives.

<b>Manager G:</b> If the second son inherited it and got along even better with Suzanna Julia, this place would quite smoothly merge into the Wincott territory, wouldn't it.

<b>Takabayashi:</b> Ah, I see.  Lady Cherie might have been full of dreams then and completely backed up the second son.  Okay, let's just say that was part of the plan from the very beginning!
