I wish it felt that way, this map was an exercise in suffering when it came to making it. It was a 140 AD/CE population map, with it's own colors, but it was one of best developed maps for a map of the Han Dynasty, period. Daresay, if I were brave enough this could probably be a good source...

To chime in, the main problem with any kind of 'Restoration' is the Emperor either to has his own powerbase and reliable supports, or is going to serve as some of figurehead by the hopeful powers that be, because as someone has mentioned the Emperor was powerless AFTER the Meiji 'Restoration'...

Without further ado, this abomination of a map, that I think is at times ugly, and unfortunately this site won't accept the full map at its size. I had to basically edit a population map of the 140 AD/CE Eastern Han Dynasty, and from there try and find out which commanderies still existed, and...

Okay, I've finally managed to do it, even if it was a total pain in the ass, but I hope it can be read. This is an attempted political map of the Han dynasty by about 190 AD/CE for a TL I want to go get back into. All of it's commanderies and dependent states are marked and label with their...

All of them.

As someone else who has planned East Colonization of the West Coast, or at least Japanese colonization it's not easy. (Mind you, I'm starting from the premise of Japan being united by the Imagawa, largely because Sakoku you can chalk up to the Tokugawa's lack of real military power to control...

I'd say from experience, culture and particularly fashion are some of the hardest things to do, and even harder to get 'right'. It would need the right mix of appeal, feasibility, and possible development especially if one wanted to consider what would fashion look in a world that wasn't...

I have some issues with this update. I get your trying to create and sow the seeds of a future conflict, but this strikes me being a bit too poorly justified from where it stands, and if this is resolved in one update, I think just too short for what you can get out of it. The names themselves...

Here is a Map Key because I have this on Imgur and it barely loads sometime. Also this a 'new' map, that I've used on Sufficient Velocity, but never on AH.com. The format goes clan, then the province, province names that are in Bold are contested. I'm sorry about all of the colors, but there...

June 12th, 1560 Okehazama, Owari Province It was a dull gray sky with the sun obscured by a thunderstorm. In sharp contrast, the sounds of celebration echoed from the camp of the army of Imagawa Yoshimoto, ninth head of the Imagawa Clan of Suruga. Yoshimoto himself sat within his camp...

Because you had different political systems at play. In Western Europe you seldom had to deal with the nobility without some kind of established boundaries, like a governing body. In parts of Eastern Europe, you did have nobles with considerable influence without any way to keep them in check...

Okay I can' get this damn thing to go imbed, but basically, this is a WIP map of the Han Dynasty Commanderies and population done by @Forceman1944 and Joltie.

Not really, the Mongols themselves let the Rus be and lived how they wished, as long as they submitted or paid tribute, in fact, they even had one of the Rus Princes serve as first among equals over the other princes to collect taxes for them. The Ulus Jochi was kind of adverse to living with...

September 26th, 189 AD Sili Province, Luo Yang Liu Bian and Liu Xie heard another argument it was his mother and his uncle who had miraculously survived. “I nearly died because of your actions and you want to criticize me for daring to take arms at the rot they represent?” “Without the Ten...
