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.

@Othello@hexbear.net @Pluto@hexbear.net might be of interest to /c/em_poc

pathfinder seems to have been very good with poc rep, they also have a fantasy africa continent that was done very well. main adventure there is basically not shit harry potter in fantasy timbuktu, main antagonist is an african mythological figure iirc. ap is called Strength of Thousands

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.
