The state of Wei(魏) (in magenta red) should not be confused with the smaller state of Wei(衛) (in pink); whose names share the same pronounciation in Standard Mandarin and therefore have identical romanizations.
Not shown are the Hung Nou to the north, remnants of the state of Yut in the south, and the clans of Ba and Shu in the southwest.
