Kaor, Paul!
The political geography summarized reminds me of what I've seen in "Eutopia" and "The House of Sorrows." In fact, that latter story could have fitted into "Delenda Est" with some revising.
And one thing to remember about Ynyns yr Afallon, contrary to appearances on the maps, it was much weaker and precarious than it once had been. As Deirdre said, a series of losing wars had worn out Afallon. I can imagine an aggressively expanding Huy Braseal seizing many of Afallon's southern territories.
Ad astra! Sean
Kaor, Paul!
And the Han Empire of "Delenda Est" might be tempted to grab what is now Alaska and parts of western Canada from a weakened Afallon.
Ad astra! Sean
As Poul notes, the prevalence of large states is a sign that this world has had a global interaction sphere much longer than ours -- people from the Old World were sailing to East Asia and across the Atlantic routinely a thousand years before the story's date.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
That I had not known or realized.
Ad astra! Sean
