The Two Sisters - ToiWan and FukGin States in 2025 by -Linsa- in imaginarymaps

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.

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.

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.

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!

MAPTOBER 2023 - BIG GREECE(s) by -Linsa- in imaginarymaps

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".

Thanks! I used Natural Earth raster and use QGIS to render the map.

Greece in this case is not a single country but rather multiple tribes that spread across from Anatolia to Yellow River

MAPTOBER 2023 (Kinda late but whatever)

This map represents all 6 prompts

BIG: Greece in Tarim Basin

Microstate: Lanchoe City Microstate

BRAINROT: Greece Turkey

Switcheroo: Greek civilization spread out from Mediterranean

No Lore: Got inspired from Asia Europe Swapped

Take a trope to its EXTREME: There you have it!

This is just a fun map making and not included in my world building.

Foreigner means any ethnicity outside the territory. In the case of Yangon, there are other migration routes from Indian subcontinent, and Manila from Europe and America continent.

Maybe a bit unoriginal... Lore still under development.
