@Venice: Would you like to trade and invest? I feel like Siam will be Italianized

Sure. Also means I have a use for the Andamans.

Yay! I have a huge project in mind but I will need a lot of money and technology. But I think the profit will be worth it for you guys

[Kryskov]

A large, hulking figure looms over Naples. In his deep, monotone voice he begins to speak.

"What you do to wittle Venice?"

He then proceeds to crack his knuckles.[/quote
I have no quarrel with Mega France.

And we don't with Naples, but we plan to ally Venice in order to be able to compete with our main rival Spain, who has allied Genoa, in the region.

Yay for proxies!

This puts me in a various precarious position.

The 2 mil is the population of Venice in 1836. The .2 is an arbitrary number that I assigned to it because I can't find the Greek population.

What is Milan's colonial score?

+2 - Europe
+0 - Pop
+0 - Ports
+1 - Navy
+0 - Historical Size

Does Nice not count as a port?

Scottish plans for colonization in this post:

The lighter blue is what we plan on colonizing next.

[Mishmahig]

As in..... pro-indigenous people/Indians?

That won't be an issue. :3

...it supports the Mestizo, too.

That's fine.

The mestizos, mulatos, pardos, peninsulars, and criollos were given equivalent rights in the Spanish colonial system after unrest when the mestizos first appeared. Pissed off the peninsulars living there, but since the criollos, pardos, and mestizos/others soon outnumbered them, the Crown was unconcerned.

Also, I should really explain how I plan to run the new Spanish colonial Empire.

Each territory is divided into regions: Patria, Américas, Caribe, África, and Lejano Oriente (the newest) regiones. There are semi-democratic elections (where all of the groups above are represented) to select a proportional number of representatives to a regional-wide assembly, La Asamblea for each region, where they debate and administer the policies of the region. Governors are appointed solely from their region (not from Spain itself), and are ordered personally by the Queen to not veto policies unless there exists a very valid reason -- and even then, the Queen can overrule the governor (only to approve, not to veto, although this is her choice thus far, not legally required). Additionally, each of the regiones selects a diputado to the Queen's Council, where they put forth policies and ideas for the Queen to implement. Previous examples include the incorporation of the Hispanic Ejército and Armada (rather than a Spanish-recruited one), the reduction (and in a year, dissolution of) tariffs between the regiones and the Patria itself, the renaming of colonies to regiones of the Portuguese and Castillan Crowns, as well as Royal visits to nearly all of the regions (she has not yet visited Lejano Oriente, given the distance), and her impending marriage to a Mexican businessman.

Basically, she's a smarticle, and her father royally screwed things up, so she knows that a war of independence is one of the worst things Spain can undergo right now, and despite how humiliating things may be for Peninsulars, she's walking on a fine line between them, calling for "Iberian Unity" between "La Patria y las regiones".

-4 - Historical Size (This is harsh, but it's to counteract the shit-ton of ports you have)

Giving you four, but your limits is to islands around you, no Africa.

Yeah, I'm not planning on Africa, I'm only really interested in the islands around Daksina.

Anyway, as I said, we have no beef with ya'. Unless you invade Aragon or Venice, which will be under our protection.

Wait, you have a queen too?

I need to kill off Richard and have Victoria take the throne so that - when our massive war eventually erupts - it can be called 'the War of the Two Queens'.

Although, I object to the massive historical size subtractions in order to make people less powerful on purpose.

Because now there's three powers interfering in Northern Italy and plus you are basically giving a big "fuk u bic boi" to the HRE.

Queen Isabella II, the Queen of Intrigue and She of Sad Destinies.

Ah! My former colonial oppressor! Not really though, La Plata just up and decided to become more Republican and ditch monarchism and the previous system for a totally new one.

How are relations with the mother country? I'm sure we can be an outlet for the less-than-desirable elements of Castilian society.

AHAHAHAHA!

But seriously, I think Italy is gonna be a... 'fun' place. All the Italian states trying to unify it under them, with both Spain and the Dual Kingdom taking advantage of the chaos to push forward their Italian Ambitions.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Oh so like the thing with the Scottish Clans and all, since the Jacobite Risings never happened, those fuckers are still stronk and armed as hell.

I forgot to include them in my application, and quite honestly getting numbers for them would be nearly impossible because there are so many bloody clans.

But essentially, the Clans no longer feud with each other on the battlefield and instead do it in the House of Chiefs where well they have next to no real power.

However, they are some nasty ass mother fuckers and know their landscape pretty well, and it's essentially a huge chunk of the population.

I'm not trying to unify them under me. I suggested a Genoa-Milan coalition but no, you stupid foreigners had to some in and place Genoa and Venice in spheres of influence.

[Bujahla]

What would be Siam's? I am not interested in Africa, only South East Asia.

Invading other nations landwise, doesn't count as colonization.

Venice doesn't want to unite Italy. Mostly because the dictators know that trying to take over Italy is just asking for trouble, and they're fully intent on just grabbing as much land as possible before Italy forms, then ceding all their Italian land claimed by the PIL and still having a fallback position.

But only if you are on the same continent, correct? Like your capitals, not your colonies.

Oh I know, but if Venice is under Anglois protection then it is most definitely gonna be involved in the Italian Ambitions bit
