Mmmm. Worldwide you say.
I just looked up on the website (thanks for the tip) and found that of the 13 Kingdoms 11 are in North America. 1 includes Northern California and Nevada, Alaska, Australia, Japan, Korea and Pacific Rim. The 13th covers Europe, Africa and the Middle East!!!!
Which seems to me as if it's a North American society with 'the rest of the world' tacked on as an afterthought.
I wouldn't necessarily expect many people outside of your continent to have heard of it!
No offense meant, it looks fun - but a bit US centred?
