<p>It's hard to argue that's not a regular world map and, yes, that would make Paradis Island into to Madagascar</p>

<p>Noticing the German names, and architecture in Eldia led me to believe that Eldia was somewhere around Europe. However, I've seen maps that theorize that it's actually located in Madagascar.</p>
<p>The only thing that doesn't make a lot of sense to me is that Madagascar is very tropical. In the anime, they show forests and areas that are very &quot;taiga-like&quot; which is a biome more reminiscent of Europe.</p>
<p>If you could clarify this for me, it would be awesome!</p>

There's [an unsourced answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/61216/2516) about the map of the *Attack on Titan* universe. Assuming it's true, it's probably more likely that Eldia is on a Madagascar-like island and environment, but not real-life Madagascar.
