While surveying the new AoW map, I spotted what looked like an interesting country- Yarkand. Interesting in that it seems pretty doomed, sandwiched between the Timurids, Chagatai and Uzbek. It's only viable path of escape appears to be to expand south into the Hindukush and India.

However, out of the 13 provinces it has, Yarkand only has cores on four provinces. In fact, the provinces in the Takla Makan basin don't have any cores whatsoever.

What's more, the actual province of Yarkand itself does not have a core. The province that the country is named after does not possess a core on itself

I'd like to understand the rationale behind this.

Yarkand was a farly new country at the time and wouldn't have been able to establish its cores fully.

However, historically it was centred around the Tarim basin, so in my opinion the cores should be swapped; only the Tarim basin should have KAS cores.

Yes, that's fine. That's sorta where I was going with this anyways, the fact that Yarkand does not have a core on it's home province is somewhat silly.

I would definitely make a post in the bug report subforum. That forum doubles as a suggestions forum, so even if it's not a bug, it is a suggestion to improve the nation, and it's a fairly sound one at that.
