Nanchung-wrong location

Now, I've been looking into the state, trying to add an infobox regarding size and territory and realized that should be right next to the Dragon State, relatively close to Taiwan in fact. Why does the map show it to be in a completely different part of China? Vladivostok 15:18, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

I'd go with because the articles are rather contradictory on the matter. And, one reference aside, the name of the city it refers to them originating from is actually where they are marked as being on the map. Location, not so much, mind. Lordganon 15:40, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, but see, the history of Nanchung article states that there were swarms of refuges from the nearby city of Ganzhou, which is much closer to the city of Nanchang, which is referenced in the article as the capital of the state and not Nanchong. So, there really isn't any question where the state is: it is located most definitely in Jiangxi province. --Vladivostok 16:55, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Again, there's only one mention of that site as well. Nor is that really the province cited, either, besides. It's very contradictory, overall. Lordganon 00:02, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Well yes, I see that it is, but shouldn't we resolve that? It kind of seems odd to just leave it like this.Vladivostok 08:19, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it does need to get repaired, overall. Dragon State will have to be done too, as its information on the matter is just as bad. Lordganon 08:22, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Fixed on the map, the article was pretty clear, don't know how I messed that up. Had the psd file though so moving some layers was cake.Oerwinde 08:33, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Well, that takes care of that then. LG, if there are any inconsistencies with where the state is, I'm willing to fix the text, although truthfully, I couldn't find any.Vladivostok 09:19, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Unless it mentions the river, or a direction in general, the locations.... are way off in the two. Largely, it's a matter of spelling, but, that simply thing has the state, largely, appear in the west, though there's actually a couple that have it further south in the east, lol. Lordganon 19:22, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, some errors...

So Scandinator asked me if I'd like him to redo the china map because it was flawed. So I went back and checked it against the Doomsday page. Found some serious flaws. For one, Ganzhou was nuked. So Nanchung can't even exist as is. Oerwinde 10:05, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Another is that many of the "nuked" sites are off the actual location of the cities. Scandinator (talk) 10:08, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

I fixed some of them, is this better?

Yes, but quite a few are still off. Worse still, the map is horribly distorted. The state borders are different if you look closely. I propose creating a new map and will be happy to do so myself keeping the survivor nations in their current sizes.Scandinator (talk) 11:45, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Why would loosing Ganzhou make Nanchung unliveable? The two cities are far enough apart to not be a problem. If you're refering to the refugees that would come from Ganzhou, that can either be changed to another city, or simply stay as is. The city that the country is based in is Nanchang, which is over 300 kilometres away. Vladivostok 14:11, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

And, Nanchung actually explicitly states "environs," not the nuked site itself. Nanchung is fine. Lordganon 19:24, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

@Vlad. Ganzhou is where Nanchung is based. They were kicked out of Nanchang by Dragon State and moved to Ganzhou. Reading the article, it actually acknowledges that Ganzhou was nuked, but they settle there anyway. That needs fixing.Oerwinde 19:31, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Again, note the word "environs." Lordganon 20:16, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

The history article says they set up the capital inside the city after subjugating the local population. It would make more sense for them to set up in Ji'an or Yinchun than the suburbs of a nuked city.Oerwinde 21:34, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Um... do you guys want me to create a new map? The state borders are off in this one.Scandinator (talk) 21:52, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I've got a new map. I'm not comfortable with drawing in the nations as I may make mistakes but I,ve added in my new proposal, Guangxi. Also why is Luoyang nuked? The provincial capital and largest city of Henan is Zhengzhou so I decided not to include either till a decision is made. Scandinator (talk) 00:48, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

China DD

I was just working off the Doomsday page and that had it listed. Oerwinde 01:07, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

I was using it too and I noticed the potential inconsistency.Scandinator (talk) 01:32, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Back to Ganzhou, after some research it seems that Ganzhou is like half the province, so I guess technically they could settle there, but I think being more specific to which part of Ganzhou they settled it would be a good thing. Oerwinde 03:29, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I added the other nations and labelled it. Oerwinde 06:44, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

China

"Making it to the city" does not mean in the city - but its environs.

Luoyang was probably a misidentification of Zhengzhou on the map.

With this latest map the strike on Ganzhou has been placed back in Guangxi territory -.- . It should be in Nanchang. The Dalian (Port Arthur) strike is off target, it should be south of the current spot. The strike on Jinan is non existant in the new map and Guiyang's strike is also off. Scandinator (talk) 10:49, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Also Chongqing became a province after DD. Scandinator (talk) 10:50, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Can someone PLEASE fix the map. The strikes are off and the map seems to be cut out from a Euro-centric model so state borders are distorted badly in Manchuria. Scandinator (talk) 09:19, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

Sichuan

I know that the idea of a powerful state in Sichuan was vetoed but there is the possibility of a a few small villages or maybe a city state of two. Does any one think a city state in  the capital of the Liangshan prefecture, Xichang. Xichang was the home up to a Chinese satellite launch base that was under construction 1983. I feel Guangxi that may be interested in the  base. ~Gold

You would have to talk to Scan about that. 1 Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:31, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Would be basically under Yunnan control by now. Lordganon (talk) 13:39, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

I do you think a page page about Xichang being a former city state turned joint protectorate of Yunnan and Guangxi  would work. Goldwind1 (talk) 21:30, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

Not only would it not be "joint" anything, but it would not be such a city-state. Doesn't work, Gold. Lordganon (talk) 16:14, March 4, 2014 (UTC)

Hi everyone

I didn't get any objections from the creator of this page so in three days from now i'll adopt this to put back my previously unauthorized edit of this article if nobody objects.

Thank you in advance.
