Are any novels like this video game?

I don't play the games, but I remember watching my brother play and I remember liking the concept. Are there any novels that feature fictional countries in an otherwise mundane setting? Maybe alternate history or just a different Earth? It doesn't need to be military/war-based.

Islandia
Ruritania
Hai Brasil
San Serif
The Duchy of Strachenz
Hav

there are loads of these, especially if you move in to sf and fantasy.

Hyboria and the Conan world seem to fit the bill.

K.J. Parker's books are close to this. 16 Ways to Defend a Walled City, or the Engineer trilogy (starting with Devices and Desires) are basically fantasy books without magic of any kind.
