I've been wanting to ask this to the original writers of Merlin but in this case I'm gonna ask you. Is Albion comprises of the whole world? To Americas to Asia to Africa or is it only the whole of England? Since the whole world was affected by judgement to the people of Albion. It is so sad since I'm from Asia and im going to be judged by something we didn't even know and concerns something across the globe. Is the battle for Albion also the battle for the whole world?

That’s actually a great question. In the medieval Catholic adaptions of the ancient legends, Albion has always symbolized a kind of “coming of the Kingdom of Heaven,” and the return of the resurrected King Arthur was always used by Christians as an analogy for Christ. Keeping to these themes, we deliberately wrote the story so that any viewers who wanted to could interpret it through that same lens. Albion isn’t a country, but a state of world peace united under one king.

But the fact that Arthur is king doesn’t dissolve other governments or cultures – quite the contrary! In fact, in some of the old legends, Arthur was a High King over other kings who answered to him. So all the existing countries would carry on with their respective identities, languages, traditions, etc., exactly as it should be, with the only difference being that world rulers themselves became subject to Arthur, who symbolized the reign of Christ after the Book of the Apocalypse.
