From what I recall, they said Windenberg, while primarily inspired by German towns (especially the old town), the gurus stated that parts were inspired by other parts of Europe, including Britain, more evident more in the rural neighbourhood. Like San Myshuno, Windenberg was a bit of a blob world of similar cultures, though since, they have gone with much more culturally consistent worlds with Mt Komerobi and Evergreen Harbour being examples.
Britechester was also based on Britain (I recall people speculating that UBrite was based architecturally on the University of Manchester), however given how American the world's gameplay is (majors, electives, GPAs, dormitories with shared rooms and lack of cooking facilities, spirit squads, term papers, expensive textbooks, professors instead of lecturers etc), it probably would have been better off in a Boston inspired world with an MIT and Harvard themed universities.
I'm hoping that like Mt Komerobi, this world will be more culturally unique and researched, including school uniforms. From the sounds of it, we are probably getting a more homesteading/smallholder vibes like the BBC's the Goode Life, rather than full scale farming.
