I agree. There wasn't enough space to do it however. I don't think the Emperors are associated with a province however. Instead each emperor is associated with an order of Sages that is strong in some places and weak in others.
Thus the Mandarins (associated with Mikaday) might be fairly strong in most provinces but are weak in Boshan or Kaisen.

The Great Waste intrudes into Kralorela near the Iron Forts.

Shiyang province AFAIK is centred around the Kuwai River. Tzu Lung and (embarrassingly enough) Hsin Yin might not be part of Kralorela but the remnants of the Kingdom of Wisdom.

"different Luy Wi". It's my opinion that there were many heroes called Luy Wi and they all had better things to do then go around memorizing their bloody number (a Monty Python joke involving the Kings of France).

I do feel that the Hsunchen are gradually being pushed back or converted by the resurgent Kralori. A wild west atmosphere pervades here...

I don't think Imolo Wen himself rules (as Abbot of the Faithful Dragon School, he's pretty well out of personal power) but his family should treat Boshan as a personal fief. The local government is too weak to do anything because the Boshani have a long tradition of resistance to being ruled by Dragons.
The Boshani are turtle people (courtesy of Edward Lear and perhaps a dissolute drinking companion) and I think they fight in a Tetsudo formation (of which the only effective attack is a crossbow).
>Local God: Luy Wi Protector, Mikaday Lawmaker, Swordmaster Imolo

Luy Wi isn't a protector but rather a foreign conquerer.

Hum Chang used to be connected to the Mainland in the Dawn.

I don't think Godunya rules anything (whether it be because of advanced wisdom or senility) these days. I think the province is dominated by the Eunuchs of the Imperial Palace instead.

He's not rebelling as Chern Durel lies outside the borders of Kralorela.
