East Akavir = Japan

West Akavir = China

North Akavir = East Russia/Yakutia

South Akavir = Tibet They were not ever united, because there is a race of snow demons (the Kamal) that thaws out from the ice once a year and invades the other races, especially the Tang Mo. Some of the other races were known to form alliances (some temporary) however.
