Hi! Every time I unlock a new world in the game, I always try to think of what country or continent is based on that world in particular. Although there are many opinions, here is my list:
Wizard City: 18th or 19th century America
Krokotopia: Egypt and The Middle East
Grizzleheim: Scandinavian Empire and the Nordic Countries
Marleybone: Marylebone, in England
Mooshu: Somewhere in Chinese History - Second option: Japan
Dragonspyre: Russia or Ukraine - Second option: Greece or Italy (in terms of dialogue/story actions, not voices)
I wouldn't say Wizard City has an inspiration and if it does than it defiantly is not 18th to 19th century America. In America the mid 18th to the early 19th century was notably the golden age for the wild west/cow boy. If were Wizard City's inspiration than it would look more like the world of Cool Ranch from Pirate101.
It's more likely that the city that sprung up around the Ravenwood Academy of Magical Arts. Wizards have to buy school supplies somewhere, why not open a kinda of magical supply shop near the campus? Add to this that the diversity in the students ranges from at least Marleybone to Avalon (Penny Dreadful is from Marleybone and we know several major characters there are from Avalon. Not to mention the Drakes came from Dragonspyre). I think Wizard City is just meant to be some giant magical melting pot.
Krokotopia, I would say is almost exclusively Egypt.
Marleybone is Victorian England.
Mooshu is Japan, not China. For the reason that Mooshu has Samoorai and ninja pigs their real life counterparts being samurai and (human) ninjas which historically were only in Japan. China never really developed these kinds of specialized warriors/assassins.
Dragonspyre, if we exclude the accents, is probably the western half of Roman Empire after its fall.
Celestia is pretty much Atlantis, again another fallen civilization that was apparently inhabited by some alien species.
Zafaria is Africa.
Avalon is well Avalon, a legendary island from Arthurian mythology
Azteca is Mexico around the fall of the Aztec Empire.
Khrysalis is really tricky, I think it's also kinda like Wizard City with no known/designated inspiration.
Polaris is France around the time of the French Revolution.
Mirage is Middle East after the fall of the Persian Empire, fairly sure.

Help me fill in the blanks!
Most of the worlds are mixes of times, stories and places.
Wizard City: Renaissance Europe, wizards, alchemy, etc.
Krokotopia: Egypt and maybe North Africa (like Morocco, plus mixes in British exploration & archaeology)
Grizzleheim: Norway & Sweden, Vikings era
Marleybone: Marylebone, in England. <-- you called that one perfectly! (time is around 1900.)
Mooshu: Imperial Japan
Dragonspyre: Russian army in terms of culture, Greek/Roman architecture
Celestia: British Indian Ocean Territory <-- another good call! (also, mixes in legends of Atlantis, archaeology)
Zafaria: Africa
Avalon: Legends of King Arthur set in Medieval France
Azteca: A blend of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations of Mexico
Khrysalis: World War 2 'fifth column' and resistance, but set in an insect-themed world.
Polaris: French revolution set in Russia circa 1917 (it's 100% Russian architecture & climate)
Mirage: Arabia, ancient Persia
Empyrea: The Genesis planet! (Star Trek: Wrath of Khan meets Shakespeare's The Tempest)
