Tian Xia is their ‘Asian fusion’ continent, has a lot of different regions and governments all dreamt up by a very wide cast of writers in Asia, but most seem to be from Shanghai and Hong Kong.
I am told that if you speak some Asian languages, these are very fun names to look at.

racially diverse ‘western’ explorers and refugees, technically a ‘hong kongesque’ situation without brutal colonialism:

Devil worshiping nazis, in fact. Cheliax isn’t exactly subtle.
There’s an old adventure path where you play a sort of resistance within the empire of Cheliax.
edit: yeah the devil part is very literal as well. Devils in Pathfinder are nuanced in that they are evil but also lawful, and it’s entirely possible to play a Faust-like character who binds them without being evil. Queen Abrogail Thrune II is not like that at all.
interesting
I think her full title gets the message across better: Her Infernal Majistrix Queen Abrogail II of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune.
