A table of diplomacy status. Among countries like Kingdom of Ciliia Armenia, Aleppo, and Damascus, there’s Microsoft YaHei, the default Windows font for Simplified Chinese.

According to the source, the text “Microsoft YaHei” was meant to say Georgia (the country). Georgia also happens to be the font being used in the English version of the game.
