Two preliminary things before beginning the TL:

  • I revised some stuff in this TL to make it somewhat more realistic and to change the format, and I decided that it would be better altogether to have a new thread, hopefully that doesn't matter.
  • I'm mostly going to stick with OTL's toponyms for natural places (i.e. the Japanese Archipelago, the Korean Peninsula, the Yellow River) and even for many geographical regions (i.e. China), and I'm planning on making up explanations ad hoc for these toponyms as the timeline progresses. This is because one, I don't want to make the geography unrecognizable, and second, I don't have the TL planned up to 2015 AD (since the POD is around 6000 BC). The exception is the "Li River," which is what this timeline calls the Yangtze; in TTL it comes from Proto-Nuclear-Austronesian *raya meaning "big" (PAN *raya > Old Chinese *rej > Middle Chinese *liɛ > Wu li > English Li).
