Thanks, I appreciate it. Also, yeah, 1,5 million is probably too high. Let's set it at something like 900,000 then?

Back in my favorite town in my favorite house with my favorite people on my favorite desktop preparing a mega-post on my favorite RP.
Sooooooo, who needs me? What do I have to answer? I've done my best to keep up, but I might have missed a bit. Here's what I'm going to answer, if I missed you, then reply.
~Border dispute resolution with Colombia
~The conference in Europe (I intend to acquire pieces of western Africa)
~The Rio Conference? Maybe?
~Meeting the step-mother in Portugal (eeesh...)
~Immediately continuing on through Spain, then into France, where I will stop 'til the next post
~A Communique concerning the events between Argentina, Russia, and the US
Anything else?

The correct number of ironclads for the Dominion of South Africa is probably zero as South Africa didn't have an actual navy before 1922.
In more positive news I note that populstat gives South Africa in 1870 a population of 1,084,200 so you are almost two hundred thousand inhabitants underestimated.

Not yet!
But yeah, let's remove the ships, I'll rely on the Royal Navy to save me. And I think 900,000 will do good now, but with increased immigration from Europe, and further expansion north, it might increase.

I'm right in saying that the Egyptians have left France, so only the Germans (NGF, SGK and Austria) are still occupying?

The Boer States are actually
at war with you, as then-player of Britain Alleniana deigned to not answer any of their correspondences, OOC or IC. Both Boer Nations are no longer playing, and Kryskov has made no mention of the incident.
I just remembered this fact five minutes ago.

High time.
After the burning of some more Zulu towns. And then when the boers are done, it is time to creep north, and it will all be done with the vast diamond veins across South Africa.
Also, I hear about this new guy who newly arrived in South Africa, Cecil Rhodes, think he's any good?

Poppycock. He's aligned with the Rothschilds, and heaven knows what those vile heathens are up to. I wager he'll be naming British lands after himself next.
