Description
This is a map that depicts the territorial expansion of the Indian and Chinese empires (who'd have thought?). To make a long story about the same length, in the future, India and China have become the dominant superpowers economically and militarily. However, the two are very well-matched and hestitant to engage in any side conflict which may weaken them to a potential invasion or incursion by the other. Thus, weaker powers are able to gobble up parts of the world right under the noses of the Chinese and Indians. Realizing that their populations and influence should alot them more territorial possessions, the Chinese and Indian governments entered into a series of agreements under which they could invade nearby countries and imperial possessions without fear of reprecussion or sneak attack from the other. Although originally a ploy by China to force India to be weakened dramatically by its former rival, Pakistan, Indian success resulted in further agreements for the expressed purpose of expansion (from both perspectives).

And now that everyone's lost interest, I present to you the drawing that outlines a key element of the sci-fi universe that's playing out in my head but about which few people probably care. :\
