There's a historical analogue for each of the great tribes in the show. The dothraki are the mongols, Iron Born are Vikings, Starks are the British, Dornish are the Moors, Bravoosi are the Flemish, the houses of main land Westeros are the different continental houses, Bourbons, Burgundians, Hapsburgs, Papal States.

Slavers Bay is the "orient".
