Oh, absolutely.

It's funny that it does because I believe that when Genesis wrote it, they were referencing the state of things in the United States and Australia.

I find it peculiar that the state of things in the US and Australia can resemble the state of things in Ivalice, at the time of the Lion War. Ivalice was such a messed up place at that time, a place where you couldn't trust anyone because chances are your enemy probably has them on their side. A place where betrayal and mistrust are common. A place where you kill your own father because he gets in the way of your political agenda. A place where the church is crooked and maniputaing a war. And America resembles that... Ha.
