The three most recent.

You are really good, perhaps even better than I am. Anyways, I have a strange feeling that 1,500,000 is too high of a population for a newly created colony, especially after a small war with the Boer State..

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

Yeah, that's more realistic. Accepted.

Most people who speak Danish are... well, Danish. I'll finish my post off tomorrow morning. I just need to plan some military operations and finish off my foreign affairs.

Did you check minute 1:05? "The best part is getting 20 dollars from this guy! OHHHHH!" (Obviously it is only a symbolic amount, since it is going to be a lot more than that...)

I only blockaded you for about two weeks, the economy wouldnt be that worse off

[Timothia]

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.

He doesn't have Transvaal, the Orange Free State, etc.

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.

[Glasgia]

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.

Aye.

So, time to kill some Boers then I'd suppose?

High time.

[Imperium Nova]

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.
