Asia New on June 1st, 2018

I'm new here, and I am not sure if this is the right section of the subreddit to post this question, but I couldn't find the appropriate section from the menu. If I made an error, my apologies.

I am considering making a website about China (including Hong Kong, Taiwan.. the culturally Chinese definition), Korea and Japan (mainly travel but also about history, and culture, etc.).

I am looking for a term that is neutral and describes these three countries without being boring and uninspiring. For example, I thought of Sinosphere might be a good term, but I feel that it emphasize too heavily on China, and that might deter people who might be interested in my site who is looking for content about Korea and Japan.

The second term I thought of was Orient, but I feel that it has too many baggage and negative connotations?

Lastly, I thought of East Asia or Pacific Asia, but I find these terms 'boring' and uninspiring. Is there a term that I can use for these three countries like I could use ASEAN to describe the Southeast Asia countries, etc?

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Model India! - A Reddit Based Political Simulation

Hi,

I'm /u/Maxwell2210 , the Head Censor for /r/ModelIndia. I've come to your community today to share with you the details of this new and exciting project in hopes of garnering support and interest.

Model India is a political simulation housed on Reddit that seeks to attract political enthusiasts who aspire to learn about, and ultimately simulate almost all branches of the Indian Government. Model India is one of many political simulations housed on Reddit. For example, /r/ModelUSGov (Model American Government), and /r/MHOC (Model UK Parliament) also have large communities.

In our simulation, the executive and legislative branches, both on a state and federal level, are represented. Anyone and everyone can participate, no prior political experience or knowledge is required. You just need to be willing to learn and participate.

We encourage everyone and anyone who is interested to stop by our subreddit, and by our Discord server. Thank you, and feel free to ask any questions.
