Asia
At least we all know we need Siam and Iran, the only blanks in the Southeast Asia and West Asia.
Siberia can be divided into at least three parts: west, middle and east, and even the Chukchi Peninsula (or named Bering Sea), Lake Baikal, Altai Mountains, and Mountains of Heaven (with some parts from current Mongolia).
Regarding the blank of South China:
Then, please allow me to share my ideas quoted from other topics.
I would suggest that the first island chain be divided into the following ways from north to south.
Sakhalin (or Karafuto)
Ezo (or Ezochi)
Ōu (the name of the main mountain range of modern Tōhoku region of Japan, and also the historical name of that region)
Kantō
Hokuriku (a narrow, long cold land facing the vast Sea of Japan, with many ancient buildings that can be represented by Zen temples)
Tōkai (the origin of the Oda clan, the essential route between East and West Japan)
Kansai (or Kinki)
Setouchi (a map as narrow and long as Araucania, with a narrow and long inland sea surrounded by land)
Kyushu
Ryukyu Islands
Formosa (an island map with flat land and a water trade route on one side, and mountainous and forested land and sea with whales on the other)
Black Ditch (The historical name of the Taiwan Strait. If there is a map that cover the two sides of the Strait, it is recommended to use this name to avoid disputes)
Luzon
Mindanao
The current Honshu is very suitable for Ryukyu, that is, renaming Honshu to Ryukyu and adding water trade routes. On the other hand, the current Hokkaido is suitable for Kanto, so it can also be renamed Kanto.
It can be seen that Japan can have many maps, enough to have the Shinto Grand Shrine as a new small civilization. The Shinto unit could be Kunoichi , a unit like Priestess + Ninja. On the other hand, there will be no Zen Temple and Shinto Grand Shrine in Sakhalin and Ezochi, while the Ainu settlements can appear in Sakhalin, Ezochi and Ōu (and maybe Kamchatka).
