Illusion of Gaia is saturated with references from around the globe, mostly of mythical and enigmatic geographical phenomena. Here's a list of the places you'll see in the game which also exist in real life.
First off, there's South Cape, the town you start in. It's been brought to my attention thatCape Town (named after the Cape of Good Hope) is the capital of South Africa. There just might be something there.
Next is the town of Freejia. This might be a misspelling of Phrygia, the city ruled by King Midas, the king who in Greek legend prayed that everything he touch turn to gold, but was rebuffed when not only could he not eat anything, his own daughter ended up as a statue.
Next we come to the Nazca Plains. These chalk-like drawings stretch across Peru; their designs were made by the Nazca people more than 1,500 years ago. They can be seen from over 1,000 feet in altitude to actually form pictures. Interestingly enough, there's an airline called Air Condor which offers tours above the Nazca plains
