I don’t agree. It’s modeled after England. Estos is England. The wildlings are like Scottish tribes or north of the Roman “wall”. Westeros is Western Europe. Braavos[sic] is like Italy. That city with the giant statue is just like the Colllosus of Greece. Even that other city looked like Venice. The Dothraki are for the Middle East or Afghanistan. When Arya talks about what’s east of estos I think we’re supposed to think of the America’s that she’s going to discover.That’s the trick.
In reality, the Kings and Queens of Westeros is really the Moor Kings and Queens of Europe from the Middle Ages.
The White Walkers really represents the wild, Barbaric, Germ Man tribes that consistently attempted to raid Moorish castles.
EDIT. one other hint, the “Narrow Sea” that separates Estos and Westeros is the English Channel.
