Hokkaido wasn't colonised by Japan until 1799. You could shove in the Ainu into Sendai and Hokkaido
 
Great scenario!!!

Here is some information about the first turkish empire; Gokturks

"Founded in 552 AD by Bumin Khan, the Gokturks engaged in widespread diplomatic activity. The famed Orhun epitaphs from this period consist of the tombstone inscriptions of Tonyukuk (d. 720), Kultigin (d. 731) and Bilge Kagan (d. 734)."

a link to there flag: http://www.turkey.org/reference/in_goktu.htm

little more info:

"Although the Gokturks were forced to become subjects of China in the 7th century, they regained their independence in 632, led by a hero named Kutluk. In the year 716 kutluk's son Bilge kagan became the ruler, and ensured a period of peace and prosperity with the aid of his brother Kultegin and his father's elderly vezir, Tonyukuk. This lasted until the year 745. The famed Orhun epitaphs from this period are made up of the tombstone inscriptions of Tonyukuk , Kultegin and Bilge Kagan."

"Other Turkish nomads from the Altay region founded the Göktürk Empire, a confederation of tribes under a dynasty of khans whose influence extended during the sixth to eighth centuries from the Aral Sea to the Hindu Kush in the land bridge known as Transoxania, i.e., across the Oxus River. The Göktürks are known to have been enlisted by a Byzantine emperor in the seventh century as allies against the Sassanians. In the eighth century some Turkish tribes, among them the Oguz, moved south of the Oxus River, while others migrated west to the northern shore of the Black Sea."
 
Thanks Yasko,

Because I knew so little of the Turks, I grouped them all under one tag and stuck them north of the Hunas (Epthalines). Because China is so shallow, there is really no way to represent any of the Turkish tribes that lived north of Tibet and West of China. Do you think whether the Turks in LRE as positioned correctly, and do you think I should break them up into sub-groups or leave them as one country?
