Eastern Asia

Eastern Asia is a region of Asia which is generally defined as containing all of modern-day China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Indochina, the western Malay Archipelago, the Philippines, and the eastern half of Siberia. Since the beginning of modern civilizations, it has been one of the most influential regions of the world. Notably, it also was the heartland of the single largest nation to have existed in history, the Terran Confederation. 
It has also been home to various other impactful nations, such as the Mongolian Dynasty, the Colonials (or Spottins), the Daigo Dynasty, all three Bharats, Celestia, the Turkic Khaganate, the Empire of Japan, the Philippines, the PRC, Kamakura, Mandakh, Cochinchina, the Federal Republic, Vietnam, and many more minor nations. In terms of ethnicities, the largest groups are the Han Chinese, Mongolians, Siberians, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Thais, and Malays. There is also a large number of religions, with Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Tengrism, and various folk religions being the major faiths. 
== China & Japan ==
By far the most influential of all regions within this general area of war, you have the two brother kingdoms of Hue and Yamato. A variety of extremely large and powerful states have emerged from both, helping to shape the general appearance and landscape of the wider world. China itself is particularly notable for being the birthplace of the largest nation in the entire history of the world--the Terran Federation. Early states such as the Early Han, Late Han, and the two Qing Dynasties helped shape the landscape of the Chinese people and nation, generally imbuing them with a more conservative outlook on the world. However, the cultural revolutions of the various communist, republican, and syndicalist forces have slightly altered that landscape and formed a more open landscape receptive towards more liberal ideas. In recent years, that has since been reversed with the recent downfall of the Empire of Japan.
Speaking of Japan, the younger brother of Hue--Yamato--has been equally as important for the history of the world. The Daigo dynasties formed Japan's wider presence in the world and massively spread the usage of Japanese scripts, all while the various foreign occupations such as Asgubal and socialist revolutions helped shape them to be a more fiercely independent and traditionalist society. The most recent iteration helped formulate a Japanese order over the whole of Eastern Asia, and even formed Japanese ethnic enclaves in multiple locations across the mainland--particularly in Manchuria, Korea, and China.
Korea is less notable, but is noteworthy for having been the last bastion of the late Terran Federation. 
A more introspective look upon the cultures would find that Modern East Asia is heavily influenced by primarily Japanese literature, political thought, and scripts while Chinese and Mongol influences have been generally waning since the times of both Mandakh and the Republic of China. There have been efforts by both aforementioned parties in the reversal of this, but none have come to fruition just yet. Cities such as Shanghai, Changsha, Wuhan, Beijiing, Harbin, Seoul, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka have been critical for the development of the region and remain the largest cities in this section of the world. Primarily the region practices a mix of Buddhism and Shintoism, but there are flairs of Tengrism within Manchuria and Mongolia, as well as spreads of Buddhists living within Japan.
== Mongolia ==
Mongolia has been a historically significant region of the world, but has fallen out of favor in more recent years. Most notably, it has been the hearth of both the Mongol Empire and Empire of Mandakh. Both of these nations propelled the Mongols into enormous amounts of wealth, influence, and power--both subjugating vast amounts of land--but were inevitably collapsed and washed away by the sands of time. The period between the rise of Mandakh and the fall of the original Empire saw the rise of Japanese and Chinese influences within the region, before they were counteracted and a traditionalist Mongol revival brought back both Tengrism and Mongol Script to the forefront of their society. However, with the most recent Japanese invasion, efforts have been made to re-sinocize the area and suppress such movements in an act of vengeance for the tyranny of the Asgubal dynasty over Japan. 
Primarily, the people of the steppe practice Tengrism and traditional Mongol Shamanism, however there is a notable population of both Buddhists and to a lesser degree, Muslims. The western Mongols are were these minority religions generally preside, while the eastern and inner Mongols have been staunch Tengri Shamans since the era of Mandakh. The most notable cities in these areas are Xilingol and Kharakoum, but there has been a rising influence in the city of Urumqi in recent years due to the actions of a particular khanate. These lands have always been very conservative in their political landscape, and all native governments have generally fallen somewhere in the more monarchical category, with most foreign governments generally having been Communist Soviet puppet states or otherwise.

== Eastern Siberia ==
Eastern Siberia is a less complex region, generally just being inhabited by various Russian governments and sparse Japanese populations in Kamchatka, and more recently, Outer Manchuria. The only real nations of note to have arisen from this would be the Chukotkan SSR, Siberian Kingdom, and Russian People's Union--all of which either collapsed or merged into wider states. There remains large native populations in the region, but they are generally culturally assimilated with the wider Russian population and culture and their native languages are at risk of extinction.
The most dominant religion is of course Russian Orthodoxy, and the largest cities primarily just being Vladivostok, Magadan, and Khabarovsk--two of which fell under Japanese control and have since been cleansed of their Russian populations in favor of Japanese ones. Otherwise, nothing else of note has originated from this region of the world.
