It's transliterated to Opone. Is that the same as Ophir? I'm not familiar

pre-release info
I edited and added another screenshot. I think it's Opone. I'm using AI to translate the images quickly so they all need verification by someone who speaks the languages.
AI says:
빌뉴스 (Bilnyuseu): This is the Korean transliteration of Vilnius, the capital city of Lithuania.
(리투아니아 민족) ((Ritu-ania minjok)): This translates to (Lithuanian people/nation). 리투아니아 (Ritu-ania) is the Korean word for Lithuania, and 민족 (minjok) means people or nation.
Oh thanks for the explanation
Hmm, it looks like it is? So, Nguru of the Pila Nguru/Spinefex People?

Can confirm 오포네/Opone and 빌뉴스/Vilnius
Interesting, Munich is an IP since it wasn't territory of Prussia.
What age is Munich? Because isn't München a Prussian city?
Modern.

And yet, Stuttgart and Hamburg weren't either and can be settled by Prussia.

This Munich one is interesting. If the devs are considering an independent Bavaria civ, then that might explain why the current design is named "Prussia" and is entirely militaristic without many other aspects.

Random fun fact: Ainu people wearing Chinese-style official garbs is actually kind of historically accurate.
In Qing times, the Qing emperor would send Qing official garbs to the Tungusic tribes (mostly the Ulch people) living in the Amur River valley as gifts. However, for these hunter-gatherer tribes, the silk garbs were not very useful besides prestige goods, so they traded them away to neighboring tribes. The neighboring tribes then traded the slik grabs away to their neighbors, and eventually, these slik products moved around the Okhotsk and eventually ended up in the Ainu lands.
The Ainu people then sold the silk garbs to the Japanese, which was part of the important Edo Japanese-Ainu trade at the time. The Japanese were amazed (and puzzled) that the Ainus had such impressive silk products, and they called these garbs "Ezo Brocades" 蝦夷錦, Ezo being the old exonym for the Ainu in Japanese.
The Japanese desire for more precious Ainu products eventually resulted in the Japanese takeover and colonization of Hokkaido in the 1700s and 1800s, but that's another story.
