The world of Cruella is growing faster than I imagined, and it’s turning into an ambitious project! Like many of my creative endeavours, it began with a few ideas; but as I started writing, the world kept expanding and deepening beyond my initial plans. Now, I realize that to keep bringing my characters to life, I need a little help to continue building out the world itself.
If you’re passionate about world-building; maybe you’re a gamer who loves immersive sims or a writer with a knack for creating fantasy realms; this could be a fun opportunity to dive into a unique project! I’ve outlined some of the initial structure and ideas below, but I’m open to new twists, names, and your creative touch.
Right now, I’m focusing on character creation and storytelling, so any help with the world-building side would be deeply appreciated. While I’m not able to offer payment at this time, I’m happy to provide you with free access to the website and any behind-the-scenes content.
If this sounds exciting to you, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s build Cruella together!
In creating the world of Cruella and its neighbouring realms, I’ve woven in elements that may feel familiar, drawing clear parallels to places, histories, and systems within our own world. This fantasy world isn’t merely escapism; it serves as a reflection, a dark mirror, of the complexities and power dynamics that have shaped human society. By grounding these stories in recognizable landscapes and societal structures, I aim to explore themes of power, control, and hierarchy in ways that resonate deeply, perhaps uncomfortably, with our reality.
This world diverged from our own at some pivotal point in history, leading to a global structure built on female supremacy. These familiar echoes; from the dystopian lands of Ferocia to the fabulous wealth of Cruella; remind us that power, once consolidated, can shape every aspect of life, from governance and social structures to personal freedoms. These are not straightforward dystopias or utopias but rather complex societies that challenge us to question the roots and results of absolute control and societal dominance.
In essence, the parallels to our own world provide both a grounding and a caution, allowing us to examine the underlying forces and consequences of such societal evolution while immersed in the unique; and often unsettling; realms of this fantasy universe.
The world of Cruella and its surrounding regions may feel oddly familiar, and that’s by design. This fantasy realm reflects recognizable landscapes, cultural structures, and power dynamics as a way to explore the depths of hierarchy and control in our own world. By grounding these stories in elements inspired by real-world places and systems, I aim to prompt reflection on themes of power, subjugation, and societal evolution.
Creating the world of Cruella and its neighboring realms has been, and continues to be, an evolving journey. This is an ongoing project, and the landscapes and societies I’ve developed so far represent only a fraction of what this world could become. The real world, with its vastness and diversity, offers endless inspiration, which means that there are countless regions yet to be imagined and even more stories waiting to be uncovered.
Each land in this fantasy universe draws on familiar elements to explore different facets of power, culture, and hierarchy. However, just as the real world is complex and multifaceted, so too is this fictional realm; there’s always more to discover, new areas to shape, and additional layers of society to explore. The work is far from finished, and with every new concept, the world of Cruella expands, inviting us into fresh territories of imagination and challenging perspectives. Thank you for joining me on this journey, with many more fantasies still to come.
Reality as we know it and inspirations for The Fantasy World of Cruella and beyond …
The region of Unionis, one of the world’s two dominant superpowers, stands as a formidable counterpart to the State of Cruella. Inspired by the strength, ambition, and influence of the USA, Unionis is a land of vast resources, powerful leadership, and a profound reach across the globe. Known for its unmatched industrial and technological prowess, Unionis is as complex as it is powerful, embodying both the ideals and the darker realities of a society driven by female control and authority.
At this time, the world structure of Unionis is still in development, with new regions, cultural landscapes, and power dynamics being carefully crafted. This part of the world will be added soon, offering an in-depth exploration of Unionis’s society, governance, and place in the global balance of power. Stay tuned for the unveiling of Unionis, where you’ll discover a superpower built on ironclad control and unyielding influence.
This region, known as Ferocia, is an isolated, ultra-cruel dictatorship ruled by a single royal family of women who have absolute control over the nation. The ruling dynasty has reigned for generations, maintaining power through a combination of terror, propaganda, and brutal enforcement by an all-female military and police force. Unlike the rest of the world, where women generally hold all the power, in Ferocia, even ordinary women suffer alongside men, living in extreme poverty and oppression. The regime’s cruelty does not discriminate—both genders are subjugated, making Ferocia an outlier in the global order.
At the top, the royal family lives in unimaginable luxury, completely disconnected from the daily horrors of life for their subjects. The royal palace, a fortress of decadence and opulence, is filled with gold, priceless art, and lavish feasts. The royal women are worshipped as near-divine beings, believed to be infallible and untouchable. They indulge in excess, enjoying the finest things while their people starve. Their whims dictate the fate of the nation, and they are known for their sadistic tendencies, with public punishments and executions common.
Their most trusted enforcers are the female military and police, an elite force trained to be ruthless, fanatically loyal, and unquestioning. They patrol the streets with brutal efficiency, crushing any dissent with violent force. These women live in absolute comfort compared to the general populace, benefiting from their loyalty to the regime, but they are always under the watchful eyes of the royal family, who will not hesitate to punish even the slightest disobedience.
The rest of the population, both men and women, live in grinding poverty. Basic necessities like food, clean water, and healthcare are scarce, and the people toil in harsh labor camps or on barren farmlands. Propaganda is everywhere, glorifying the royal family and their military might, while the people are kept in constant fear of punishment. Children are indoctrinated from birth to revere the regime and inform on their families, fostering a culture of paranoia and distrust.
Ferocia’s extreme cruelty and oppressive isolation have led to its alienation from the rest of the world. Other powerful regions sanction and shun it, condemning the nation’s treatment of its women. The international community may be brutal in its own way, but the situation in Ferocia is seen as too extreme, even by their standards. Despite this, Ferocia’s leadership maintains its grip on power, using the sanctions and isolation to fuel nationalist propaganda, framing themselves as victims of global jealousy and maintaining a chokehold on their suffering people.
This stark contrast between the indulgent life of the royal family and the abject misery of the common people defines Ferocia as a land of extremes, where cruelty is celebrated and both men and women suffer under the iron rule of a family that thrives on absolute control.
