What is known about the Taira and Korea?

The Taira appear to have calmed down considerably, although I wonder what the Tale of Heike would be like in this timeline, or would it be the Tale of Genji and be about the fall of the Minamoto. Did the Taira usurp or marry into the Japanese Imperial line? I see they're ruled by a queen, I don't play much EU4 but is kingdom generic or are they using the Shogun government?

Buddhists live really long in this timeline, 117 years!

Korea is rebuilding the Balhae borders, they could be a serious contender for unifying China if this keeps up, which would really shake things up, or they could go east into the Other World.

Thanks for the event screenshot, that let me hunt it down on the wiki. That event fires when a Daimyo takes Kyoto and becomes the new Shogun, so Toku I is the Shogun and the Japanese imperial dynasty is still technically in charge, which means the queen title is just generic to kingdom tier nations.

I think it’s more likely that the title is indicative of a change in status, something has happened somewhere that has pushed the country out of the special Japanese mechanics. Possibly an event or a government reform that isn’t blocked off properly from being switched to by daimyo/shoguns. I think the Taira are just a regular kingdom now.

I think you're right actually, I looked up how to change away from the Shogun/Daimyo government and the only way to do that is to either form Japan, which would change the tag from Taira to Japan, or have an estate disaster force a government change. Since the Taira haven't changed tag and are led by a queen they had to have had a disaster force them to change government.

Which means the Imperial Dynasty might or might not be around, depending on if in story the Taira marry into the Imperial dynasty or make a new one.

EU4 has a kill counter at the end of wars right? Can we get a shot of that when all these civilized and peaceful discussions between the Sacred Hierachy and these protesters are over?

If I'm reading the religion map right I think Mecca is Yazidi so the Kaaba is probably ok. If I'm not, Hinduism is a very adaptive religion and I think the Kaaba would still be kept around.

So we have Maori conquering Australia and pirates wiping out the Han, maritime politics are going to be complicated ITL.

What has the spread of institutions been like in game? The impression I've gotten is that aside from Europe and parts of Africa, the rest of the world is relatively equal in terms of development or tech.

Colonized Europe could lead to some interesting states forming. Anatolia is pushing for a Byzantium restoration.

The Taira need to clean up Japan's borders and I don't know who, but somebody needs to clean up the messes in Persia and Central Asia.

I'll be working on a State of the World update for 1600 soon, anything you want me to point out?

I love the smell of ash in the morning, makes for great history.

As for the state of the world, an update on the Americas/whatever they are called ITTL and an update on the Taira/Japan.

Taoist Mysticism, let us all refines ourselves until we can became one with heaven.

Republic, perhaps there are more reincarnations waiting among us? The righteous Lasya might even return and lead us to greater glory. A republic would better let these righteous stars ascend to prominence.

Rapid spitballing of names is a go:

The Tibetan Freehold, The Sublime State of Tibet, The Harmonious Republic of Heaven/Tibet, The Republic of Tazig

I feel that it would only be appropriate for the Tibetan Republic to have a grandiose name which I tried to come up with.

For the flag, I am not an artist, but since the Republic decision is basically a culmination of the Middle Factions repeated wins I'd say we should incorporate their emblem into the flag:



Should we stay or should we go?

Leave.

Checking if students can see the map, video game music, oh god is this a Zoom call reference?

Now I am trying to think about what part of history would be the most confusing/difficult to teach in this timeline? The collapse of Europe? Cannibal Popes? Lasya's conquest of China and the Purgyal betrayal? Or something we haven't even seen in the LP yet?

B. Devolution

I see that someone already beat me to the Taira update, that's what happens when you lose power.

What is going on in not-California in not-North America, does the New World have a name for each continent I am forgetting?

What is the situation in the far-West (Europe)? Who are the premier powers there?

Well that escalated quickly, if Tibet is to be the new Celestial Empire there will be a lot of border cleaning to be done in China.

Also looking at the Blood in the Bosphorus timeline and what's happening in Anatolia is hilarious, I wonder how far the Revolutions will spread.

I'm not much of an EU4 player but this looks bad, almost like we're in for another long century of conflict.

Assuming we have a century left, I think EU4 ends 1835? Or if Kangxi ends it sooner to help with the conversion.

That chapter was amazing, especially the ambassador and Empress at the end.

For world update the usual not-California and Japan from me. Does that pink mean Japan's gone to pirates? Please tell me they have the Pirate Republic government type.

What would it take to dismantle the Sacred Empire? Is that feasible.

I haven't played EU4 in forever, but development is a thing right? Which nations are the most developed as things stand?

Also has anyone started building Manufactories or has coal been activated or started to be used?

And a last mechanical question, so since Tibet has the Celestial Empire government as I understand things, are we in danger of a Mingsplosion, er Tibetsplosion?
