By some estimates Grenada rose-up out of the ocean by a foot when returning GIs toted away every bit of war booty not nailed down.

From what I understand Grenada was the reason "bring back" stuff is severely limited now.

Maps are flat representation of a curved surface.  Of course it's distored and some parts are smaller because they reflect the curved portion of the land that doesn't fit nicely on a flat surface.

Yea that's what I thought, Japan being mostly South of Korea.  But if you make Japan vertical instead of having the map North at the top, then I suppose it looks like they are more side-by-side.

EDIT: No, I guess OP is right. It has moved! It's clearly mostly North of Korea. I'll be damned.

It's got something to do with Buddhism or some other religion. There are "swatikas" all over South Korea too.

Does this map help you OP? It kind of refreshed my memory, as I too was thinking that Japan was slightly lower than it really is, but not nearly as far south as your map on page 1. It definitely has always been north east of China.

And yet, here we are.

Sakhalin has always been just across the Soyo (Le Perouse) Strait from Hokkaido. There has been talk of connecting them for years.

You map leaves out Hokkaido, perhaps so as not to have to confront the dissonance.

Then there's the whole "Sea of Japan" thing - a name that seems a lot less appropriate in your world. The Koreans would be happy.

How many more Kurile Islands are there in your world?
