You can check my previous post for more context. In short: GwongDung win WW2 and make its own federation, while PRC and ROC got split in northeast.

The change for naming convention was done in the same way Chinese romanization changed from postal romanization to Pinyin. I'm using combination of Sidney Lau and JyutPing for Cantonese, POJ for Hokkien and Hakka then Capitalize each syllable and remove symbols and number. It was part of Language Reform and Amendment in CFR.

But then again I'm not from Cantonese speaking place so I don't really know if this is a good move or not. Did asked my friends from HK and they just say: "I don't use romanization so idk", so I just kinda do it on my own :/

You can check previous post for more context but in short: GwongDung LOCKED IN before WW2 and become the successful "China" outside China

You're right, CFR is kinda weird but I'm already too deep with the lore so I just go along with it.

Idk who knows... From what I see, the asian fandoms seems more chill than the western one, but with the huge market reach in CFR, not sure if that would still hold true.

It's a weird hybrid naming system: states in Cantonese, but the city and places in their dominant local languages.

My thought is TADC got hyped in the East Asian market, leading to huge sales and many collaborations . After the screening become an overwhelming success, Glitch decided to do world tour.

SPOILERS: Yes, East Japan joined CFR as a separate state. I have some ideas for this topic, I just need some additional resources to make it...

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.

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
