Bronze Abyss [1200] - Bronzepunk

Disclaimer: this map is not intended to challenge existing territorial boundaries or revise past historical events. This is just a product of the author's fantasy created for entertainment. All characters and events are fictitious and any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Alright, the first map from the upcoming series of Punk scenarios. This world is quite ASB, because the political map has not changed much in thousands of years. Sorry for the long wait, I put a lot of effort to complete it.

Anyway, the map is based on many articles about the late Bronze Age, which I read. In this world harder-than-bronze metal is completely absent in the earth's crust (at least in the Old World). This and lack of the invasion of the Sea Peoples created the Bronzepunk world of today (with a pinch of Stonepunk and Biblepunk).

The vast region from Italy to Afghanistan is the Civilized world. People are living in prosperity and wealth here. It is economically and politically centralized paradise permeated by trade routes and dynastic alliances. No one really can’t remember when the last major war was.
Europe is the land of Stonepunk. There are no human-powered cars and other Flintstones things; there are huge confederations of primitive tribes with complicated political ties and strange stone technologies.
Lands to the east of the *Iran is the weird lands of lawlessness, arbitrariness and ugly religion. And only the most desperate and daring travelers and traders dare to go further to the east over the *Tibetan mountains...

Technologies are still at the level of the Bronze Age with a little exotic. Chariots turned into a harnessed tanks; gunpowder is invented, but used only in the production of bombs. Giant balloons roam the heavens and the floating cities rule the seas. There's even a primitive electricity.

However, the thousand-year Golden age has long been ended. Middle East is out of resources, only import save the situation. Global deforestation turns the once rich areas to deserts. Because of forecasts by a forgotten Libraist prophet about upcoming doomsday *Iran is burning. Unknown bloodthirsty peoples from distant lands have landed on the coast of Europe.
Is this the delayed Bronze Age collapse?
