How these dates were made
Real dates from Wikidata, checked against the atlas.
These are real dates: Vietnam's founding is recorded in Wikidata, and accepted here only because they agree with the centuries the atlas independently drew it in. Wikidata records more than one founding date; the earliest is shown. No dissolution is recorded, so the closing year below is still the last century the atlas drew — not when it ended. The atlas itself draws the world at 5 moments in time, not continuously. The strip below covers those snapshots — 1960 CE to 2026 CE — which sits inside the fuller span above.
Elsewhere in East Asia at the time
Records whose own span overlaps this one, found by the same test the canvas draws with. The bar under each card is where it sits inside this one.
