Talk:Magic Council (Zicoihno)/@comment-9274542-20130515110400/@comment-3061966-20130515212252

Actually, I think Fiore was only referred to as the heart of the Magic world in the anime, not the manga. Also, it's important to note that the council is not based in Fiore.

Thing is, I think you bring up a valid point on council's authority and national sovereignty, but  I doubt Mashima has given it much thought. His world building is poor, he doesn't care to really expand. The countries on Fiore's continent are randomly named -- that's should say a few things to you already. Mashima hasn't put much effort in expanding on how the council works with nations, and I'm not sure he ever will. I'd imagine countries are adverse to dealing with mages to the point that they give the council free reign in those matters, who knows.

With that said, I'm not fond of the idea of trying to echo the UN on the fanon. Most people use the same countries anyway -- Fiore, Iceburg, Seven, and Bosco. In a world that's probably still dominated by monarchies. Interesting idea on expanding the council's non-existent origins though.
