For reference, he based it on Renaissance-era Italy. His writing philosophy is that history-inspired fantasy, among other things, lets a story have more of a universal appeal than mundane historical fiction would.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'': The episode "Miss Understanding" has been interpreted as an anti-sexism episode, a commentary on gender stereotypes or internalized misogyny, an RainbowLens metaphor on what is like to be an trans person being typecast on a gender they don't identify with, or a simply an episode of Skipper acting like a woman that doesn't have any deeper meaning beyond RuleOfFun and being PlayedForLaughs.
