Hi, I made 2 teeny tiny edits to the 900 map: made Rügen independent and gave Lotharingia east Frisia.

I'm not sure, I didn't touch India.

Hey, so, I modified the 900 map. Mostly just in Europe, North Africa, and the Caucuses. Also Korea and a small modification in China/Vietnam. For some reason that whole drama earlier didn't scare me away from trying lmao

I mostly just lurk but I just wanted to say I enjoy this tl a lot. It's weird seeing such a small scale ah map based on where I'm from (I live in Chicago now but I grew up in Roundlake, Park City, and Gurnee)

Base Maps from 550 BC to Modern Day, all in UCS is dead, long live Base Maps from 550 BC to Modern Day, all in UCS?

C and car are the same amount of syllables, so it doesn't make much difference there.

Who's number 1-3? EU, China, and?

Could someone help explain or provide a few sources for Morocco shape and differences in the 1816 and 1838 maps? I don't understand why the spot in the middle is uncontrolled. I also can't seem to find anything about their expansion. Everywhere I look talks about history til the 1700's, mentions...

I've always thought about the Death of Alexander. It's close enough to the Chinese Unification and rise of Rome. Although it has most of the same problems our system has, just 323 years earlier.

North Texas, South Texas, East Texas, West Texas, and Texas.

Well, that was rad as hell! Those are definitely playing a part in my worldbuilding thing. I don't see why those and accordions cant co-exist.

That is something I was afraid of. I didn't know if any of the parts would have to wait until the Industrial Revolution before it becomes popular. Although, I can't think of anything that can't be made of iron or even wood (most of my accordion is wood, although I haven't looked inside of it)...

So if the sheng can be introduced to Europe and the middle east earlier, say by the Mongols, then maybe various cultures could adopt it and eventually different kinds of squeezeboxes can be invented. My mostly-uneducated guess would give the accordion an Italian renaissance debut, which is...

Bump? I know this has nothing to do with war and politics, but it can still be interesting, right? Also, I'm doing a worldbuilding thing and I want to know how early I can believably introduce it.

When's the earliest the accordion can be invented? Wikipedia says it was invented in 1822, also stating it may have been invented earlier. So how early could it have happened? 1700's? 1600's? Medieval?
