It's still a colony according to British app but you can:

A) Ask the British player if they want to allow the colony to become independent.
B) If not, ask them if they would allow you to RP as a British colonial government (assuming you want to do so).

Otherwise, you can app as Thailand or Vietnam or Laos or Cambodia or Indonesia.

The China reservation also expires tomorrow, so maybe you can join as China too (assuming an app is not posted tomorrow).

App complete

I'm just prepared to kick the British out of Sudan.

Provided that the original East Soviet player is not interested, of course.

Assuming the player does not revise their app within the next two days, then I will reserve it for you.

Great, thanks.

I think the British would try and be moderately successful at keeping the Malayan and Singaporean Strait, though it would be a rather weak grip held on by a weak government. You app as the colony of then try to fight for your independence as South Rhodesia has done, you'll have the advantage in that fight, but the British will mostly likely try to fight back, depending on what the ideology of the independence fighters are.

Who controls Primorsky Krai and Sakhalin Island?

Definitely not Japan, most likely one of the Russian Warlords

Except India will intervene on the side of the independence fighters and put a stop to British colonial rule.

Actually, Japan would control Sakhalin. The Russians would not have been able to take it before their collapse, and I doubt the US would give it to the warlords.

Possibly the US directly? It would be somewhat feasible in the event of a broken Russia with a defeated Japan.

That's why need a map ASAP!

Speaking of Britain, what became of their Mediterranean Holdings? Does Spain have Gibraltar, Italy seizing Malta and is the Suez Canal fall under British or Egyptian rule?

Suez Canal shall fall under Egyptian rule!

The OP said that they retained all of their territories with the exception of India, and now possibly more will break away in the IC thread.

As Spain, I do not own it.

Oh, okay. That makes sense

Speaking of the IC Thread, When is it going Live? I know it was today.

Jamaica has been ACCEPTED. Roster updated. IC coming up soon.

If the US reservation ever lapses, give me a heads-up; I think I may have a bit more time than I have had for the last six months, and taking the US in an RP this well-developed would be well worth the effort. Well done, OP.

Thanks.

I will keep that in mind, and I will be glad to have you in the RP. In case the US app is completed and gets accepted, would you be interested in some other nation? There are many countries open and some of the reserved countries (like China or Italy) will expire in the following days. So if you are interested in one of those nations, just mention it.

Yes, I would be very happy to have you, of course!

Hey OP, can I adjust my app's GDP? I have vastly underestimated the potential wealth of a united Indian subcontinent. It should have been $300 Billion with the inclusion of Celyon, Burma, Nepal and Bhutan. The current stat I have to too low for a nation that became the fourth largest industrial power after WW2

The real Indian GDP in 1950 was 30 billion dollars; do you think Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan could really raise that tenfold?
