No matter what size they are right now, the Ming Dynasty consider the concept of defeat outlandish to them. They would probably be a fierce opponent tho, given how so many people can fit inside coastal areas.
Really like the map 👍

Very nice. Do you have a source for those outposts? I was actually doing a map for the same region but as it was in Yuan times for my TL.
BTW, you missed Boluohe (波羅河) on Sakhalin, which was located somewhere near modern Poronaysk. That was a trading post active in at least Ming times, and possibly in Yuan times too.

ngl it was your map that inspired me to make something similar and I like the idea of Japanized BritainHaha, I made a very similar map once
Thanks for the feedback! I had two good maps for the Nurgan outposts, but I settled on the one below since it was easier to trace the rivers and outposts from.
The other map here is much more detailed, but it's much harder to see the past rivers and the outposts due to the modern rivers and borders. I originally attempted to georeference this map, but I messed up and was too lazy to try again for this map, so I switched to the other one.
Despite my best georeferencing attempts and tracing, my map is sadly not as accurate as what I hoped, but I think it's a good shot for a first map. It's pretty much spot on for the Eastern part of Manchuria, but it becomes less accurate the more west you go on my map. I definitely plan to remake it sometime in the future with the better source when I am more confident in my map making skills.
I did some brief looking around for Manchuria under Yuan rule, and it was called the Liaoyang providence . The following map may be of help to you:
Best luck on your attempt!
Im pretty dubious of the Ming having any outpost in the Greater Khinggan Range.
Looking at the map, I only see one outpost in that region, and apparently, it has a very brief Wikipedia page in Chinese.

Google translate tells me that it was the Ming's dynasty northern most outpost, so I'm guessing that Ming influence there was very minimal. The outpost was also located near a river, so it's not implausible for it to exist. In fact, the other outposts in the north but not exactly in the region were also near rivers, so the soldiers had access to water and could grow crops to feed themselves.

This map makes me uncomfortable in ways that I don't know how to describe
It's been posted here before, but as there are a lot of map threads, I'm not about to go looking for it.

Is that Australia part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? I can't lie, this is where it gets a bit unrealistic. If Germany wanted to tolerate a Breton state, then it would have set one up after the occupation - heck, it makes sense for Germany to promote Breton and Occitan...

What PolishMagnet said.
There was also a Canada version (and a Mexico one, thought that one was made by a different person).
Yeah, I thought it had, but it's amusing enough that I decided to put it up for the benefit of those who haven't seen it before. (There was also a Big Fat America as well as a Longamerica, IIRC.)
Mildly interesting: It looks like the shape of Lake Doramos is taken from a common map/patch of the lost continent of Mu.
I'm glad! EDIT: Although you could have credited me
