After reading some posts, and even seeing Yandere's translations.
There's some mistakes in the translation, it's not that big, but it's important.
I don't know if Yandere Translation ever played
Rance 6 yet, and i bet most people here never knew that Rance World is not Earth
so,
Welcome to Rance Geography 101
This is the map that was used in Rance 6.
The world consists of a main continent and some islands floating in the middle of the universe, supported on the back of four Holy Beasts (JAPAN is supported by a fifth Holy Beast from inside). Whenever any of the Holy Beasts move, it causes earthquakes. In the picture above, two of the Holy Beasts are visible (an elephant and a turtle).
It's a geocentric world and has no oceans (only rivers, and a very big river). There are 365 days in a year, and 24 hours in a day.
NATIONS
Currently the world is roughly divided into:
* Leazas (red)
* Free Cities Alliance (green)
* Helman (dark blue)
* Zeth (purple)
* JAPAN (yellow)
* The Demon Realm (gray)
and the part where the Translation went slightly wrong is:
The name is intentionally written as "JAPAN" in the original Japanese to distinguish it from the "Japan" of our world. This wiki follows the same capitalization method in order to emulate the effect.
But, In the Yandere Translations, JAPAN is translated as just "Japan".
this can cause a little misunderstanding, since a simple sentence like "In the east of the continent lies an island country called Japan", people will think it happened on Earth.
for further information you need to play
Kichikuou Rance, Rance 5D, Rance 6 and Sengoku Rance
remember that Rance is a series and at the moment
Sengoku Rance is the latest yet, and most of you are going to play a VN that is the latest in the series. I really want people to play the earlier ones, but most of them can't understand Japanese.

Once upon a time, the Japanese H-game magazine "TECHGIAN" had a ranking to let the readers vote for their favorite H-game character. For a year, Rance held the first place. Then TECHGIAN changed the ranking to "your favorite H-game heroine", disqualifying Rance.
