other info on the worldstate ...
you could compare the lords to the state alchemists in fma:b. they have to obey their leaders, but are also given free reign over their state. the common people know not to disobey or challenge them or their retainers.
supernatural things are no secret, and people exhibiting magic abilities is fairly common, at least 50% of the population has some magic ability. however most of the characters in this story are far more powerful than the common average person.
the worldstate is dwelling with all sorts of monsters, guardian spirits, talking animals, demons, etc.
for official outings, such as fuedal lord summits, all lords have to wear a special outfit. it is military like but really fancy with lots of bling. puffy pants with knee high boots. long glamorous jacket/cloak. the japanese school hats/military hats. it is black, grey, gold and silver with various gems. it looks very sexy on everyone. retainers have a similar uniform, but much less flashy.
their computers look like 90s macintosh and run windows 95. they still use vcr. but there is online gaming. there are phones but not cell phones. there are net cafes and blockbusters.
