Comprehensive Annals of Five Dynasties - 五代通志
So, making use of the expanded SWMH map provided by @mechl and employing the historical records, I populated the formerly empty land with characters and provinces appropriate for this period. I always wanted in the game, but the problem with Tianxia and Umbra Spherae before was that while the Far East was great, the rest of the map was left completely vanilla. That is, for me it's impossible to play CK2 without SWMH, so I decided to alleviate this issue myself.
However, this is not just Tianxia stiched to SWMH and called a submod. Since May 2019 I've been going through 資治通鑑, 新唐書, 舊五代史 and adding every Jiedushi and Cishi recorded there into the game. No placeholders characters were added to China at all, every single landed character is historically attested (sometimes it's just one mention, but that's still better than nothing) to hold the position in question. The only semi-fictional characters present appear in cases when someone is called a grandson or nephew of some other guy, but the immediate ancestry is unknown. In those cases I added unattested characters or invented links that are possible, but cannot be proven. Fictional characters were added in Mongolia and Manchuria in areas where records are poor on non-existent.
The province setup is based on the administrative divisions of 5 Dynasties and Song periods to keep consistency with records of the period as much as possible, but details are still subject to change. 200 provinces have been added In China, but I expect the full map to have as many as 400 and that's not counting the provinces added by Mechl in India and Tibet. So, don't expect this to be a lightweight mod, some lag is to be expected.

Google Drive - Version 1.0.5, 01.09.2020
Steam Workshop
Requirements:
- Game patched to 3.3.0 or later
- SWMH, EMF, ARKOpack Armoiries installed (Frosty3)
Current features:
- Expanded map to encompass the entirety of China, Vietnam, Mongolia and Manchuria
- Full coverage of the timeline 867.1.1-960.2.4 for the area in question.*I won't be touching the original SWMH map, any possible inaccuracies or lacunas in province ownership won't be resolved by this submod.
- Updated and exhaustive family trees of characters present in the mod, as far as sources are available.
- New government type - Bureaucratic Government for China, which has cities as primary holdings
- Baronies based on the historical counties (Xian, 縣) as recorded in the New Book of Tang (新唐書), History of Song (宋史) and History of Liao (遼史).
- Tangut transcription of Chinese counties and baronies for Xi Xia, based on the simplified notation by Marc Miyake (subject to be expanded to cover all China in the future).
Planned next steps:
- Addition of Korea and Southeast Asian states
- Further addition of characters from 舊唐書, 新唐書, 舊五代史, 新五代史, 十國春秋, 九國志 and other sources I can find.
- Expansion of the covered timeline into Song period and later (version ??)
