The map shows Europe in 900, showing a mosaic of states and tribes in the making. Western Europe is dominated by West Francia and East Francia, while the British Isles are home to independent kingdoms such as Scotland, Northumbria, and York. In Central Europe, Great Moravia and tribes such as the Polans and Haveli are building early state structures. Bulgaria is strong in the south, while Italy remains an independent entity. The east is dominated by the Principality of Kiev and Slavic tribes, while the Iberian Peninsula is contested by Christian Asturias and the Umayyad Caliphate. The north is controlled by the Scandinavian kingdoms, and southeastern Europe by the Byzantine Empire.
