Tian Xia is their 'Asian fusion' continent, has a lot of different regions and governments all dreamt up by a very wide cast of writers in Asia, but most seem to be from Shanghai and Hong Kong.

I am told that if you speak some Asian languages, these are very fun names to look at.

Big bads:

tanuki!!

racially diverse 'western' explorers and refugees, technically a 'hong kongesque' situation without brutal colonialism:

this is qin shi huangdi except the elixir actually worked

before anyone gets weirded out by the elves, all pathfinder elves look like this, even ones from 'western' or 'african' areas

"Latino" or "mixed" or "Turkish" analogues would be nice!

Pathfinder has northern Garund and Qadira and the Kelesh Empire, but I don't actually know enough about those regions to speak about how they're written.

The iconic cleric is a gay Qadiran woman who is married to the iconic rogue (an elf)

Pathfinder has Arcadia as its America-analog. I don't know anything about it except that they have guns and are featured a lot in the book covering that. Seems very underdeveloped otherwise. https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Arcadia

Just to add clarity to your comment, Arcadia is the pre-colonisation America analogue, as Andoran is the USA analogue.

Developing this more would be interesting!

I think its hinted theyre going to be doing some Arcadia content soonish, its one of the regions that is very undeveloped
