OOC: This TL is going way faster than I’d like, so I’ll slow it down a fair bit, maybe have some wars that need fleshing out, etc. For now I’ll write what has happened in the last century or so across the world. It won’t be a narrative, this update will be a textbook entry.
East Asia, during the turn of the Millennium, had grown to become the most centralized and powerful region on earth. The Great Rei in China had grown to directly rule much of Manchuria, Mongolia, Dai Viet, Korea, and even a significant portion of the Silk Road route all the way to the Katei Khanate. Japan had unified, although decentralized, and was a tributary state of the Rei, as were the Manchurian and Mongolian tribes, Tibet, Brunei, Srivijaya, and the Ainu tribe. Tibet, although a tributary state, had formed its own trading empire based in the plateau, commanding routes from India to Rei and even to the Caspian. Srivijaya also controlled trade routes going from India to Rei, although the Rei fleets held more power than anyone.
India was in a sort of warring states phase. Having previously been unified, now it was divided into three kingdoms, the Muta, the Viyah, and the Bengal. All three are basically at war with the other two at all times, and nobody seems to be winning.
The Abbasids fell apart a century ago, With Persia, Arabia, and Egypt taking the mantles of power in the Islamic World. Tunisia and the Maghreb also existed as independent states, but not nearly as influential.
Norge is the dominant Scandinavian power. With Sverige and Danmark always occupied with warring each other, the Norwegians simply have been annexing tribal Saami lands for the past three centuries. Byzantium has grown in power, and retaken some lands from the Saracens, in addition to fighting tribes in the northern Black Sea region, even going so far as to cede land in Crimea to genova to have them help. They have also taken parts of Southern Italia, angering everyone but the Genovese. France and Germany have settled into their disunited ways, and gave the Poles the opportunity to simply walk in and take a significant amount of land. The Slavs, who’re mostly Christian now, have begun to become more organized and less tribal, the Polish king was the first, and with the Poles now being able to completely conquer the entirety of Eastern Europe should they wish, the other tribes followed suit out of fear. Venice and Genova are now roughly equal in power, although the Genovese do have the alliance with the Byzantines. Éire has become to only nation worth mentioning in Britain, and are on the road to vassalize the rest of the island’s states. Their colonies in Iasctír have begun to produce enough fish to be transported back to Europe to be sold.
In the Riccias, the North American tribes were advancing at a significantly slower rate than those in Mesoamerica and the Andes. All except two regions. The Mississippi civilziations were creating massive cities of up to a million inhabitants (although that one city encompassed nearly all of that tribe, and farmland was included in the city). And the Makwarep (California) civilizations were advancing at great rates. In fact, the Ahwaste state had nearly taken over the entire region, from the forests in the north to the deserts in the south, and with the Wekter Mountains to the east. With nearly two million people, and a system of civil codes and labor taxes, the Ahwaste would dominate the west coast of North Riccia for centuries.
In the Andes, the Qosqo state had nearly united all of the kingdoms in the region, and, like the Ahwaste, had a labor tax that allowed to government to build massive infrastructure projects, even rivalling those of Europe. Mesoamerica was breeding advanced civilizations too, with the Oltent irrigating their fields in the drylands and draining lakes in the swamps. The Riccian civilizations aren’t given enough credit in most history books, one can only imagine how little would be known about them if the plagues had swept the continent during the period of colonization.
Mali was, by the 1100s, largely Christian, but had its own church because the Pope didn’t even know it existed. It was the most powerful nation on the continent, and was continuing the expand its influence into the Sahara trade routes.
