That still makes the Zhou dynasty roughly the size of Wilhelmine Germany or maybe 4th reich Germany. Nothing to scoff at.
Ands anyway this doesn't answer my question. What are the little dot states? Are they fiefdoms the emperor concedes people he likes and cannot be legally dissolved so they exist nominally separate from the much larger states they are embedded into? What's up with them?
>>
>>18327004
They are city states i think
>>
No, it's Qin, since it was the victor
>>
How the hell do they know the specific borders from this era?
>>
Qin, Jin and Chu.
>>
>>18327047
Shiji

>>18326991
Why did Chu, the largest state, not simply eat the other states?
>>
>>18328072
They didnt into totalwar
>>
>>18328072
small population
>>
>>18328072
Low population density, Chu core territories were the Jianghan and Nanyang basins the rest is filled with barbarians nominally under Chu rule.
>>
Chu is the main character, but this is one of those stories where the hero fails in the end, even if he's later given a second chance
>>
>>18328072
Qin had a political system much better suited at waging war.
