I like, nicely done: a fine wank. A few questions, quibbles:
Thanks, as you can guess you were a big inspiration for the map. The next one I do will likely not be B_Munroist, but when it comes to making a map of the whole world I find your style to be quite effective.
1. Why is Manchuria (the Qing homeland) a client state and not attached to the Qing puppet state, or, if filled with German, Russian, etc. settlers, not a part of the Empire proper?
The Germans didn't care much about where the Qing came from. They cared more about acquiring their own territory and trying to assert rule over all of China through some proxy (that last part didn't work out). Manchuria itself is still mostly Manchu, but western settlers are becoming more and more plentiful in the region which is definitely causing tension within the protectorate.
2. Does Hungary rule over Bosnia and Serbia as puppets? Because if not, it’s “reward” is smaller than the OTL state was at times.
They don't know that, now do they. They have been larger, but the Mentese took a lot out of them and by the time the Prussians got involves the Mentese had the advantage. And when you have a behemoth breathing down your neck you are quite happy to take any scraps you can get.
3. “Durani Dictatorship?” Does it have an actual name, or were you just phoning that part in?
Maybe a little. I couldn't think of a good name and eventually decided to make it simple (really simple). Explained in universe by the Durani regime being Roman classicalist and having no qualms with people knowing exactly what they are.
4. Unless the areas it controls are rather more densely populated than OTL, Vesterrike needs some beefing up to be the dominant source of League manpower.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. As I said this map is relatively old and has gone through a few revisions. I'll have to fix that. It is more densely populated that OTL Canada for sure, but not to such an extent.
EDIT: Fixed, should hopefully make a bit more sense now.
