So, since Crusader Kings 2 : Jade Dragon has been announced, I figured I'd start the threads that will be inspired by that.
One of the major features is the idea of a Chinese Governorate of the West. I wonder if starting with the Tang, whether or not a series of Expansionist Emperors could start setting up a Chinese Empire in the West, as title - in Central Asia, and potentially Persia. Effectively colonising it with Chinese Cities.
What would be the result? What would these look like?
I'd guess a potential PoD is victory against the Abbasids under the Tang dynasty. So lets roll with that.
