Map Drop - A Chinese Civil War to End All Chinese Civil Wars (Patreon)
Content
So here's the feature map for this month, made by Varjagen! It's in the Polish Pergamon World Atlas style, which might not be the best way to depict political intrigue and history, but is just a gorgeous style in itself.
The beginning of this narrative of historical events starts with a favourite alternate history premise, that the Ming Dynasty manages to survive in Taiwan, on the western margins of the Island of Tayen (OTL Island of Taiwan/Formosa) rather than getting squashed by a Qing naval invasion. The ending of the tumultuous history of wars, however, still sees the Republic of China ending up in Taiwan, so in effect... I couldn't resist the irony. To read the lore, check out the description text that accompanies the Deviantart post.
