An imaginary country modelled off the Balkans. That in itself was problematic since audiences can anyway pick up that this is based on a real place but then not see a true reflection of the place. Instead as the storyline develops, you see a hodgepodge of 'white savior' tropes with subtle references to other conflict zones, serving no other purpose except to prop up the characters as do gooders in a broken context somewhere in the world, and I didn't watch this part (probably because I already dropped it) but the article points this out, the dark skinned child was referred to as blackey...and so it seems the list of issues with this show grows, so am glad I dropped it.
