World

The setting of the SPY x FAMILY manga, which largely takes place in the country of Ostania. Other mentioned countries of note include Westalis and Hugaria.

History
Many years before the beginning of the story, tensions were high between the countries of Westalis and Ostania. During this time, a far-right political party named the National Unity Party was under the control of Ostania. At some point in time, the two countries came together to create a pact to end their conflicts. While the exact instigator is unknown, Ostanian forces crossed the border and began launching attacks on the eastern provinces of Westalis, starting with the bombing of Luwen, and war broke out. Eventually, the fighting stopped, the two countries brokered peace, and the National Unity Party was deposed. However, tensions were still hot between the two countries, leading to the beginning of a different war, a cold war.

Ten years after the war's official end, a Westalian Diplomat perishes in a car accident in Ostania after crashing through a road barrier and exploding. Westalis' intelligence agency, WISE, suspects the National Unity Party to be behind the event and is plotting another war. As such, they send their best agent, "Twilight," to investigate the party's leader Donovan Desmond, leading to the events of the current story.

Geography
The countries of Ostania and Westalis border each other with Ostania to the east and Westalis to the west, the iron curtain severing the two countries.

Despite their seemingly peaceful front, their relationship has greatly deteriorated to the brink of pushing them into a war from any incidents.

Ostania

 * Main article: Ostania

Ostania (東国) is the country bordering the east of Westalis.

Westalis
Westalis (西国) is the country bordering the west of Ostania. Despite its major role, very little information is known about Westalis beyond their advanced intelligence agency, WISE, which has managed to evade Ostania's counterintelligence, the State Security Service, to prevent war between the two countries by any means possible.

Hugaria
Hugaria (フーガリア) is the setting of the cover story often used by agents of Ostanian Intelligence, including Yuri Briar, to fabricate nonexistent travels abroad. The capital city of Hugaria is Obda.

The wine called Tokar that Yuri brings to the Forgers is from a shop on Hedger Street and there is also a restaurant there called Kalpatia.

Nortica
Nortica (北国) is a nation near Ostania. It appears to be a neutral country, as Billy Squire, leader of the Red Circus terrorist group, requests safe passage there for himself and his group as one of his demands for freeing the captive Eden Academy students.
