| {{Territory application id and name}}
| |
| | |
| This is an application for the claiming of AR908, AR911, AR912, AR915, AR916, AR921 – Greater Bai Empire and Kanglapo. Following the [[Forum:Territory application/AR915 – Bai Empire and Kanglapo|previous failed application]], I decided to flesh out the entire proposal in full, of the greatest extent of the Bai Empire.

| | |
| The northern coasts of the Bai Empire will be subtropical and humid (something like the coastal areas of Southern China), while inner Bai Empire (AR912, AR915, AR916 and AR921) will be more tropical. AR921 might actually have dry grasslands and have a more arid climate, while AR912 might also have fertile plains for farming. AR915 and AR916 will have bamboo forests and large plains for rice farming. Large parts of the existing rainforest cover will be kept, with the exception of the portion separating AR912 from AR911. The forest covers might be shrunk as Bai develops, but the general shapes will retain.

| '''Borders''':
| |
| | |
| I have discussed with [[User:Coshatiuav|Coshatiuav]] and the users of Huaxia (through [[user:Kengoman|Kengoman]]) on our borders.
| |
| * With [[Huaxia]], I am willing to give up a part of AR916 and establish a long natural river border between the two nations. Due to similar cultures between our countries, it will be reasonable that only a long river might divide us, that still allow a certain degree of cultural exchange. Friendship road and rail bridges, like those between Laos and Thailand, will be built when Huaxia expands closer to the Bai Empire.
| |
| * With [[Grinzez]], he had proposed a mountainous range between the two nations. A northern part of the border will remain flat and allow cross-border road travel between Bai and Grinzez (also he had mentioned the possibility of joint economic zones between the two nations for trade). In recent times, perhaps there might be rail tunnels (even High Speed Rail) crossing through the mountains. Especially one connecting from a major city in AR921 to Hitherceko.
| |
| * The eastern part of AR915 will be split off to form an independent country of a separate distinct culture (Kanglapo). A small mountain range will separate the two nations along the west side of this country. Wedged between the two nations, there will be a landlocked nation Kinglavia, an isolated nation similar to Bhutan but culturally similar to Kanglapo. Another inspiration could be Andorra, another microstate between Spain and France. Tongbian, an existing Bai province, will be annexed into Kanglapo. A river border will separate the two nations at the northern part of Kanglapo. The annexation will allow Port Dunghoi's status to be elevated as an important border city with Kanglapo.
| |
| * On the borders with AR922 and AR923, depending on the admin, a mountainous range might be extended from Grinzez, or remained flat. If flat, AR921 might be reworked as a region where Malayalam, Tamil and Chinese languages converge, with the possibility of AR921 being a Burmese-speaking region instead. (Similar inspirations can be Xinjiang, Heilongjiang or Guangxi).

| {{territory application human geography}}
| |
| As also seen in the attached image, human settlements will generally be along the rivers and coasts. AR912 and AR921 might be more sparsely populated compared to the rest of the Empire. The more urbanised cities will be located in AR911, with a Shanghai-esque city located at [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=11/24.4780/144.4801&layers=B Louy].
| |
| | |
| For Kanglapo, its capital Nandacheongfu will be located at the south at existing [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/17.1513/149.9275&layers=B Donalou]. Nandacheongfu will be another major city in the region, to be inspired by Seoul and Tokyo. The rest of Kanglapo will have a more socialist-planning style to reflect the existing communist regime of the country. As AR915 and AR916 was once under a Bai communist government, the cities will share similar layouts with Kanglapo.
| |
| | |
| For the rest of Bai, the towns will be mapped in a similar style to South Korea, Japan or Taiwan. The settlements of Bai will be connected with an extensive rail network, with HSR lines serving the major cities along the coast and connecting all the way to Grinzez. Joint rail links will also be made with Kanglapo and Huaxia.

| [[File:Bai P2 provinces map.png|thumb|882x882px|centre|This is a sketch of the provincial divisions of Greater Bai. This might be subject to changes, given it was an old sketch by [[User:The Cute Chick|The Cute Chick]].]]
| |
| {{territory application history and culture}}
| |
| | |
| Much of the Bai Empire will be Chinese-speaking, with closer leaning to Southern Chinese cultures and dialects. Teochew and Hokkien will be spoken along the northern coasts, while AR915 and AR916 closer to Huaxia might be culturally closer to Sichuan.
| |
| | |
| As said about AR921, it might be a buffer language zone between the Southern Indian speaking nations and Bai. Burmese might be proposed, and I find it does make sense given the neighbouring culture of Grinzez and Nakah.
| |
| | |
| Kanglapo (the eastern half of AR915) speaks a unique conlang inspired by various Asian languages (Thai, Korean, Japanese), with a slight Slavic twist due to its past occupation by Suria. The language will use the [[Wikipedia:Tai Le script|Tai Le script]]. Examples: ᥐᥣᥒᥘᥣᥙᥨ Kanglapo; ᥢᥢᦡᥓᥥᥨᥒᥜᥪ Nandacheongfu; ᥛᥤᥒ ᥔ ᥞᥤᥒ Ming Sa Hing
