Then, as well, changing the names of the leaders to enable freedom from the historic elements when desired.Rome circa 200 BC. Punic wars era. Basically, the map in point seven at <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2018/6/19/17469176/roman-empire-maps-history-explained" target="_blank">40 maps that explain the Roman Empire</a> but with the Selucids trimmed at the end of turkey, to be replaced by Chaldean culture and its NeoBabylonian Empire.African south of the Sahara in the mythological kingdoms (some of which have had corroborating archaeological finds), but with portals to a lost land of large carnivores and primitive hominids - Australopithecus and early Homo genuses.Australia, New Zealand, the various South Pacific tribes: last century before mainland (re)contact.  Australia with portals to the Dreamtime.China in the Warring States.Japan in the Heian.South Asia in the  height of Ankor Wat.Hmong on portal-connected lost world, along with the western mythical Siam.The Slavs and the Germanies also in their circa 200 BC primitivism.Mongols in a lost world where they hold most of europe.But, as others have noted, REH's Hyperboria is the same concep, as is Greyhawk, Mystara, and even The Forgotten Realms.</blockquote>
