    China, India, Vietnam, Russia, Australia.

    Probably Japan.

    Maybe Tibet. Maybe Pakistan. Not sure about Afghanistan.

    Australia would include Papua, Vietnam would get the rest of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, you name it. It was a big war, must’ve been a big place. Who even knows what countries are there? It’s like the Balkans of Asia. India would look mostly the same, a bit bigger.

    If Pakistan is included it probably would include Afghanistan as Afganistan is definitely in the Middle East and not in Asia, but Pakistan (If they remember it, with the weird border ritual video that became so popular) is so closely associated with India that there’s a chance it’s included. Maybe India gets Pakistan while Pakistan ends up around Iran.

    China gets a lot of Kazakhstan, all of Mongolia and some of Russia. It’s possible some random chunk of western China gets the name Tibet. Russia stays mostly the same, whether they or China get the Korean peninsula is a toss-up. There’s a decent chance the Russian border just gets moved way north.

    Depending on who you ask, Korea might also be included as it’s own thing. But it might end up in a weird place like Vladivostok, the Kola peninsula, or some place in China.

    There’s a decent chance they know most of the main islands of Japan and it ends up looking a little cursed but mostly in the right place. I’m thinking it would either stop short of Hokkaido or seize Sakhalin.

    Central Asia doesn’t exist.
