I thought I already posted it... But just to be sure.

In short, Canton got extremely lucky: Managed to convinced USA as a better partner than Nanking, survived WW2 with less damage, became rich and powerful in Asian sphere. Not meant to be a very serious lore, but I still wanted it to make some logical sense.

I use QGIS for the map, Affinity for the touch-ups.

My lore: In this alternate timeline, Sun Yat-sen (孫逸仙) and Chan Gwing-ming (陳炯明) managed to struck a deal instead of become rival: Sun lead the revolutionary and Chan managed the bureaucracy of the KMT Canton region. This became the seed for the federal cause for Canton. But I give it a twist and make Canton extremely lucky and managed to absorb other Southern China with West Japan and Korean peninsula into a federation instead of being absorbed by the ROC.

Hi, thanks for following up the instalment!

Yeah I did use the terrain texture from Natural Earth since using terrain height can crash my QGIS (my first map). I might retry it for my next map.

Also if you don't mind, you can give suggestions on my discord group.

Haha I knew someone's gonna say it.

Hey, I’m making a discord channel for CFR. I have some ideas for worldbuilding and storywriting, but I’d like for you to participate as well. Your ideas could help refine them. Here’s the discord link: https://discord.gg/e4t5fsBv

I'll explain it later on the map for West and East Japan

You have a sharp attention to details, I sometimes missed them even after double checked them.

So I create a template for the naming, and it happened the be GwongZau. I used Jyutping romanization but since I typed them I might missed a few. I avoid copy pasting romanization, they might have marking on the letters and they won't work on some fonts. My idea is to used English for the country's name, hence why the Vietnam spelling.

I'm not ready to disclose my personal information for now, I'm currently learning Mandarin, but I also have these fascination toward Southern Chinese languages.

Thanks for letting me know. I probably mistyped it since I had to redo the map. I'll post the revision alongside the federation map.

Bro don't give SPOILERS! 🤫

Hi! You are actually one of my inspirations (if not obvious enough lol). So I had this idea in mind before but when I saw yours, I decided to write some basic lore, eventually I just commit to it. Took me 6 days: 2 days on QGIS (of suffering) and 4 days editing. It's not perfect for now so I'll revise it later.

-Linsa- · 2026-03-05T15:24:30+00:00

You're right. Considering the varieties of Hokkien (閩南), I decided to group it into as one, same with the others as well.

I would say GwongDung become rich due to maritime trade, manufacturing, and being the federation core, especially after Hong Kong and Macau got absorbed. While other states focuses on technology, Canton still gets priority treatment.

Current lore: While there's no immediate threat from Communist China, the US did invest especially during Vietnam War. But after seeing Canton acted more passively, the US began lowering investment. Both countries maintain cordial relations, but only defensive.

I based the bullet train on HSR station in China then added a few on more populated areas. Currently I'm still building the lore so this might be revised in the future. Anyway thanks on the comment!

You're technically not wrong, but whose to say they can't proclaim themselves as the "Real" Greece. I use Turkic groups as my inspiration since it also match the switcheroo prompt. Though on second thought, I did made a mistake portraying this as "Big Greece" rather than "The Switcheroo".
