Firstly, if this would be better placed in shared worlds somewhere(as was my original inclination) my apologies. However, as it is supposed to be a structured TL (with a hybrid prose/raw timeline style, not unlike the Chaos TL)
This is intended to be a planning thread for a joint TL between me and General Tiu.
My opinion is that the POD should be set slightly before the Imjin war, the intended purpose is to achieve a best case scenario for Korea, within reason(hence I do not use the term wank). Thereby, their will be setbacks...and once the foundations of a powerful Korea are laid, we will attempt to adopt a more neutral perspective, rather then bias it in favour of Korea(perhaps this will be permissable anywhere between 25-50 years after the POD).
Don't expect a "Korea rules the world scenario", IMO the BCS is it taking some minor West American territory, uniting most of China, and taking significant Ainu, South East Asia, and perhaps Japanese territory as well. I may not go that far.
One idea I have is to leave a sizable South China state, and an independant Japan, so as to balance the TL a bit. Korea will dominate East Asia, but don't expect it to own it. I'm not sure of the plausibility of a colonial race between China, Japan, and Korea in this scenario(mostly is SE Asia and NE America), so I'd like your opinions on it.
Unfortunately my knowledge of this era is not as abundant as it could be.... thus I am creating this thread.
On this thread, we will flesh out the general ideas and structures for each "segment". My view was, that with collabaration and suggestions from any willing to help, we would jointly complete each segment here (anywhere between 10 and 20 years of the TL), then post it on another thread in before 1900. The said "segments" will be posted here first for editing.
While everyone will be allowed a say, me and Gen.T will make the final decision of what is posted on the primary thread. Any errors seen after the posting should be posted here, not on that said thread. In other words, I hope the "main thread" to adopt a style similar to those of the TLs and Scenarios section (and given that the TLs and Scenarios section has a specific thread size required before a post, the concise form will need to be posted on this before 1900 forum, at least at first.
Along with any suggestions, we request that you post any maps(OTL or in this ATL), information, opinions or otherwise on the TL at this thread . As someone once said, "AH is nothing if not a group project"

.
As I expect to make countless mistakes, please don't hold off
Gen. Tiu: As I have not consulted you in regards to the above, is this format agreeable? As for the structure of the TL, I feel we should mutually agree on each segment before posting the final version of the "proper" thread. In the event we are unable to agree, we will leave to the readers of this thread to decide the issue, by poll or otherwise.
So, does anyone have any ideas or relevant suggestions. My first genera outline will be coming shortly(or not

).
Opinons of the overall concept? As far as I know, its rather unique in the world of AH(has anyone ever seen a Korea-wank TL before?). Difficult, but achievable. Or so I hope.....
