None of which are densely populated.

I don't have an issue with him having a colony there, but the fact that he owns Jakarta and not the rest of Java is like someone owning Dublin but nothing else or Wellington. It just is more plausible for him to own an island colony there that isn't the most densely populated city in Indonesia.


Yeah because that never happened.

And actually, I don't. I don't own Singapore, I dropped it, I dropped Central America, and I dropped Kyushu along with most of my other colonies including Victoria. The only major trade points I own are the Gibraltar and The Suez


You still hold colonies in more than 24 places.

Add up the size, it's not near the size of most western powers. I dropped the vast majority of my valuable colonies.

That's not the point, though. You control some of most important trade ports and such, never mind that it makes minimal sense because historically Venice was content with Mediterranean, and then you somehow think that a single colony in Indonesia is unjustified.

I was just asking why he only had Jakarta and the rest of Java, which in comparison is uninhabited, was left. He literally took the hardest area to colonize and nothing else, it didn't make sense to me.

And I control some important trade ports, sure, but don't act like I have a monopoly on it, I don't own Constantinople, Panama, Singapore, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Bermuda, Madagascar, Guyana, Nicaragua, Any of the Mississippi or St. Lawrence, Copenhagen, the English Channel, La Plata or countless other areas, I literally only own Gibraltar in terms of restrictive straits, and my trade posts are perfectly justified, I'm a trade based empire. Italy never got out of the Mediterannian because they couldn't, Spain or the UK always controlled the Gibraltar during colonialism.

Nation Name: the kingdom of brasillia
Capital City: brasillia
Claimed Territory: Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, el Salvador, Paraguay, Bolivia, and French guiana
Population:149,000,000
National Flag: our flag is currently non-existent, as we are getting over our recent abandonment from our mother nation

Head of State:
Head of Government: queen Quelera Delouse
Government Type: absolute monarchy
National Ideologies: our nation for a monarchy, is very free In all reality, our nation has rights of all kinds, the queen (who rules until death) is very kind and generous. We as a people are incredibly united as one, and will not change, we openly allow immigrants of any kind. We trade openly with everyone but our mother nation.

History: we as a nation started when the Portuguese landed on south America, the land was almost completely uninhabited at Sept for few natives slightly inland. Other than that our taking over the new world was very easy.
until August 12th of 1762. Our old king, or the king of Portugal, banned our communication with other nations, because, and I quote "our involvement with other nations would convinces us we don't need Portugal to survive". This started the Brasillia succession, in which Brasillia gained independence after its victory against Portugal. Our queen was the leader of our succession, and was actually the person who won the final battle of the succession. She then became queen in 1772 and declared the nation as the monarchy of Brasillia. As of the end of the war, we have thrived from trade, and our agricultural industry. Brasillia as a nation has made many allies, and although it is thriving, has recently had issues finding a flag, due to its refusal to adopt anything close to its homelands flag.

You do realize that using a puppet for apps is generally frowned down upon?

And the app sucks, no offence intended, I recommend you use your main and look at some previously accepted apps.

If it is in red and bold, Denmark ain't agreeing:

My good sir, quite honestly, don't say statements like that without knowing the truth. They are not oppressed. They have as many rights as any Finnish citizen, can vote in politics, and are actually treated better then the Suomi, overall. Still, I have heard of the exploits of your country, and will sell Stockholm and the immediate surrounding area to you on these conditions:
-Denmark shall pay $700,000 Krones for the land, as it has 70,000 citizens
-(1)Denmark shall allow Finnish Navy ships dock in their ports.
-Denmark shall pledge to not invade Finnish territory
-(2)Denmark shall enter an alliance with Finnish territory
-(3)A Finnish military base will be allowed on the frozen island of Svalbard


1. Merchant ships, sure. Military, um no.
2. Nope, we don't do alliances with any nation.
3. Nope, we don't do military agreements.

Well technically, Cortez only had one or two towns on the coast of Mexico and didn't actually take anything until he took Tenochtitlan and then came the rest of mexico.

You need to find better examples, lol.

The Mughals are excessive in both, so by that measure Allen's nation is relatively tame.

How could such a small population control half a continent? He may as well gobble up the the Colombia and Guyana countries,

I would, but I was afraid I'd get spanked for eating an entire continent.

My population is tiny; 10-20 million, from which I could probably levy about 1% due to density issues.

Well, I mean, look at North Africa. Wasn't it the big cities and not the relatively uninhabited lands that were taken first? Conquering is always easier than developing (though this is history, so obviously exceptions :P )
