Description
The Republic of the Burning Sun, a rich nation filled with traders and merchants, and the Republic of the Bloody Moon, a militant nation filled with soldiers and mercenaries, through the sharing of a common culture and tired of their constant disputes which serve only to weaken them both, unite as one. The combination of Bloody Moon's miltary technology and strong, standing army and Burning Sun's wealth and vast merchant navy makes the new nation, the United Republics of the Burning Sun and the Bloody Moon, a force to be reckoned with in any theatre.To the north the ever belligerent Empire of the High Mountain rattles its sabre often, in the hopes of scaring the nations to the south into submission. The United Republics are not so easily impressed, however, and have taken careful precautions to protect against a possible attack from the Empire.
The Kingdom of Uata Che to the east shares much culture with Burning Sun, and is made up primarily of the same ethnic group. The more isolate Bloody Moon, however, is cautious of their informal suggestions towards an alliance, but is not so foolish to turn them down, not when they are sure to be the first to be attacked when the Empire of the High Mountain decides that it wants the continent all to itself.

Nice! Are the Republics sort of Japan-analogues? And what about High Mountain? China?

I'm not sure, originally the United Republics were meant to be ethnically turkic, but I really haven't worked out any real background for this world.
I think I'll stick with the idea of them being turkic, and the Empire of the High Mountain will be more like the Mongol Empire. If I find the time to do a continent-wide map then I could definitely clear up a lot of my own confusion about the world by doing so.

Then you'll have a very long wait.
I've still got to get round to doing the Austrian Empire from TL-442, and my German Mesocarolina map from TL-181 still needs to be redone!
