DBWI: Map of East Asia

Scifiguy, I take it that you did not pick the two maps from the same timeline?
Otherwise it would be really inconsistent work.

A united "Philippines", even conserving that name, would suggest a relatively
long maintained power in the hand of Spain. On the other hand, the South
America map implied a complete erosion of Spanish rule, more severe than IOTL.

But this is just my impression, perhaps the author had a very ingenuous
gimmick to trick the world into that shape.
 
ooc: This has seriously got to stop - its devolved into just random exclamations that are like "China - wtf!" The first time this might have been creative when people actually puts some effort into their posts, and tried to reveal the nature of the DBWI world, but now this is just stupid.

OOC: I have to agree, hey. I like it when there are interesting speculations from another TL's perspective, such as the stuff above about the meaning of Pak. But when it's people going "WTF NO SENSE" it's just irritating.
 
Quite interesting but spoiled again by the cliched North and South Koreas :rolleyes:

And despite being a nuclear power Tibet has been over run by China.
 
So as usual, South Korea is designed to be a Japanese puppet?

Yes its as if people cant accept the fact that Korea and Japan created a strong trade bloc on an equal footing and are still harping back to the days when Japan hoped to create an empire, lucky the Emperor expired early and his son took over and moved to ease those fears instead or there could have been a nasty war in the Pacific.
 
Japan is still the same as I remember it. I would have though Perry's visit would've shaken things up. I wonder if it's still a hermit country.

What's up with India being on both sides of Bangladesh?

The Federated States of Micronesia? Somebody has lots of imagination.
