Yet Another Teaser Map!
When I have difficulty deciding where to take events in the next section, I draw maps to help unstick my brain. This one may change slightly, but right now its looking pretty solid.
Notes:
-Lu Tzu is the most powerful of the so-called Heretic Kingdoms (founded by Buddhist & Confucian refugees fleeing China). Its main province(s) is the southern Lu Tzu Isles (OTL Philippines).
-Australia is known as 'Lemuria' because of the 'ghost-men' (aborigines) who trade with the first Carthaginian and Lu Tzuan explorerers.
-The yellow territory in northern Lemuria is a Lu Tzu colony.
-Pallava and Bengala are fairly strong Hindu kingdoms. Bengala relies heavily on Carthaginian backing to fend off China.
-Nihon is no longer 'closed', and really hasn't been since the early 1400s, when they began to grant sanctuary to Chinese religious refugees. The Nihonese have a powerful navy, and by 1650 have started to look towards expanding. Their first conquests were Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Kurils, where they easily conquered the native Ainu peoples thanks to modern firearms.
