>>58349322It's difficult to say; for the most part we know that different regions have their own laws and governing bodies, and different levels of development, and that they can behave completely irrelevant to other regions for the most part, but generally cooperate with the other regions and have a global system to communicate with them and request aide, etc. It's most likely different countries in some form of UN-style cooperative pact, but could also be a one-world government with different states or different independent territories. Somewhere along that spectrum. Notably, there might be regions completely outside of this legal/governmental system that are "ignored" by gamefreak because they have a less idealized or more complicated systems, or don't participate in global cooperative initiatives; think of nations outside of the UN again, as examples of nations gf "wouldn't make into a game". Of course, gf never considers that specific angle, but it's an interesting one.
