The premise behind this map is based on a topic my lecturer for International Relations brought up a couple of months ago. He discussed very briefly the idea of a Sino-centric, tributary based international system not founded on the Westphalian/European idea of sovereignty, non-interference and nation-states.
That's a really cool idea. I'd like to know more about this scenario.
Yikes, Spanish Australia.

I simply did a series of screenshots from Google Maps.Was this done on a -BAM map or a basemap of your own making? I like the scale of it!
Just to make it extra complicated, a variant of Hakka becomes the dominant Chinese language.Apparently trying to create an alternate Romanization system using the Latin language (yes, you heard me, Latin) can make you question everything...

Hey, do you have the basemap you've used for this project ? I have been looking for a Worlda with national subdivisions for some timeProgress marches on! And in fact, we're closing in on the end of the map (not counting writeup and annotations), unless someone is willing to posit interesting ideas for Central and South America!
West Africa has been a land in flux, with all kinds of nationalist and separatist movements breaking down the old colonial relics. We have Mandinke, Hausa, Taureg and more ethnic groups going free. But the most interesting development is that of Nigeria after the Yoruba, Hausa-Fulani, and Kanuri broke free, and the land that had formerly been Biafra now spearheaded the creation of a cosmopolitan, multiethnic African polity.
