Palma is a futuristic Rome, or Macedon Empire of Alexander the Great. An area abundant with water, rich in culture and technology, yet also an Empire that spread out to other territories (planets) bringing their culture and people's with them.
Given above, Motavia (AW342) is the Levant, ruled by a Governor, just like Herod was Governor via Rome, to oversee this Desert area. Espers, like Lutz and Tarzimal , are akin to Jews: few in number, from a desert area, very mystical/religious. I'm not implying any race thing, but Motavians and their nomadic lifestyle, separate culture and implied 2nd class citizen treatment, is similar to the former nomadic Arabic peoples, the Bedouin.
Post 1284, well, even Rome fell.
AW1284 Mota keeps with this above theme, yet this time comparable to the lush green, plentiful American colonies of the British Empire, instead of Rome, yet is still subjugated, but largely terraformed thanks to the technologies of Palma (and Earth.) Some Motavians, now sharing similarities with Native Americans, are (arguably forcibly) "civilized" and speak the same language as Palmans, even some residing in Mota towns.
2284 Mota is back to the Levant, or Middle East, but more recent era, minus the religious strife. A post-imperial arid, colony planet, struggling to thrive as a result of the former imperialism imposed upon it.
Dezo 342 is a mix between the eastern religious people of Nepal and Tibet, sharing the same cold climate, relative mountainous remoteness, mystical/religious folk of Dezorians being akin to any eastern religion, but especially Zorostrians, who also worship fire. Yet Dezo is still under imperial rule, much like Alexander's kingdom stretching that far east to Hindustan (India/Nepal/Tibet.)
1284 Dezo is largely the same. Espers are still akin to Jewish folk, having been persecuted by Mother Brain, are exiled (by choice) to Dezo, much like Aszkenazi Jews went North to Europe to avoid persecution.
2284 Dezo is a largely the same, just post imperialism.
