Who owns what in Asia ?

Most of Mainland Southeast Asia is under Scandinavia and Austroslavia control, while nearly entire Maritime Southeast Asia is owned by Netherlands, with the exception is Philippines, with 2/3 of it under my ownership. Currently, Myanmar is the only nation left in Southeast Asia that still has its independence.

A small portion of India is owned by Austroslavia. Guangdong, Guangxi and Taiwan are all under my watch. The rest of Asia is empty, feel free to expand your Korean Empire. About, the Middle East, I think Armenian Empire is put its claims on those territories.

Here is the link to the world map (my version, which is very old).

All right, now I just need to figure out whether or not to be largely Christian, or go full Korean Deus Vult.

I also got some additional information on this:

• The KGB would control most of India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh like the UK did IRL.
• Korea, who will be the RP equivalent to the Empire of Japan, would likely have control over some Asian territory such as Northeast China, Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands, Izu Islands, Liancourt Rocks, Bonin Islands, Guam, Nauru and South Pacific Mandate.
• Japan is the Tokugawa Shogunate, which means it is still feudal and technologically inferior to many nations (including Korea).
• China either remained as an empire, became a republic or got split into smaller states as a result of internal crisis following the Boxer Rebellion.
• Hokkaido, due to Japan being still feudal and unable to suppress rebellions, is likely to either be independent or controlled by another nation (possibly Russia).
• Sri Lanka is the independent Kingdom of Ceylon, who is likely to be allied with the Austroslavian Empire.
• The Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1856 following the Crimean War, so Turkey is independent now, although smaller and weaker, yet expected to regain pride and superiority.
• The Arabian Peninsula is either an unified nation (possibly a caliphate) or just composed of independent states.
• Both Iran and Afghanistan are independent as well.
• Burma could either be independent or become a vassal state of the KGB just like Normandy.
• Bhutan is possibly independent due to isolationism like IRL.
• One question: What would 1/3 of the Philippines be like?

I think a Chinese fractured republic and a resurgent Caliphate in the Arab peninsula would be quite interesting. For the Caliphate part, it could be that the Banu Hashim took the title after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman claim on the title of Caliph was always shaky at best and definite dislikes by many Arabs.

Revlona, all landmasses of Sumatra will be under your control, with the exception is Riau and Riau Islands, the only foreign territory of Scandinavia in East Indies. Your thought ?

The Imperial Warglorian Empire, I will handing Estonia and most of Latvia to you, I will keep Lithuania, Saaremaa Island of Estonia with Kurzeme and Zemgale regions of Latvia, also half of Finland is ceded to Russia. Sounds good ?

About 2/3 of Philippines and Hawaii will become my territories, any objections ?

I would like to keep control of the entire island of Sumatra, especially the Malacca straight

It is historically Dutch after all

I already claimed to own ceylon and claimed to own Southern Bruma

an unironic timeline in which Scandinavia rules Ireland, Malaysia, Thailand, south-west China and parts of Indochina omegalol

How did Ireland even fall to Scandinavia? That was already an English colony when the Royalists and Parliamentarians had their civil war...

I think the timeline is that the Viking colonies in the British Isles never fell or something, Scandinavia never divided, and they conquered Ireland

Doesn't make any sense; the largest viking strongholds were in north-east England, and the nordsmen who did go over to Ireland hardly set up effective governments, because they were ethnically and culturally different to the native population, and were not able to have sturdy supply lines between Denmark/Norway and Ireland...

Edit: lol grand indochina just said "ye we're catholic now lol", completely disregarding the fact that Sweden was the most important player, aside from maybe Austria, when it came to the initial beginnings of the reformation and the thirty-years-war. They just went with "Alright, you know those teenie tiny viking settlements that we once set up like 800 years ago? Guess what. The celtics love us. And we're catholic. No clue how that happened, but just roll with it. Anyway: We never turned protestant. Cool change right? What do you mean the entire history as we know it from mid-1600 onward wouldn't be the same? What do you mean Germany wouldn't exist? We're catholic lols, just accept it. Also: We somehow took hold of Chinese colonies. A fucking lot of them. What, the Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian people are quite difficult subjects to control and the Vietnamese people have fended off two world powers in like the last 80 years? So what? We Swedes had like two trading ships, and now they all love us."

I must admit having little to no clue about what the army and navy status of Louisiana could be in my application.

He’s right, I will adjust Scandinavia lore when I have free time.

If I remembered correctly I didn’t mention any Viking stuffs in any of my posts, except for the name Norseland. Anyway, you’re right, I will take note of these facts and adjust my lore.

How would you feel about splitting the islands evenly?

You will have Lingga, Natuna and Anambas Regencies. The rest is mine, how about that ?

[Danceria]

I'm just uncertain whether or not Missionary Activity would be successful. Perhaps Korea could be seen as asylum for Christian Chinese and Buddhist Japanese...

[Revlona]

Nice try, Natuna and Anambas are out side of the straight

And lingga is not as well positioned as all the islands you would have

I’ll take the Karimun and Lingga regencies along with the Sugibawah, Sugi, and Durian islands.

You can take the rest

[Savojarna]

No space for some French Indochina?

Probably a good thing, let someone else lose to the Vietnamese.

I’m fine with it, as long as I can still reap some profits from Strait of Malacca.
