I really want to make sure my claims arealright witheveryone. I'm assuming that my claims in Arabia are unquestionable, as are my historical claims (except for some parts of India, and some other areas), that my long interest in Madagascar and the islands around that assures that I am probably to be allowed that, and that islands or archipelagos that generally have less than 13k people are fine. I know I own a part of Mozambique, but I am unsure if I can get any farther to the south with it, though naval bases in Madagascar and surrounding islands strengthens my case.
So, my Arabian claims are Yemen, Oman, and what are now modern Saudi Arabia, modern U.A.E., modern Qatar, and modern Bahrain. Socotra, which is owned by Yemen, should come in easily because of that; I wanted to make sure there weren't any conflicts with the Indian player, so I don't think I'll be claiming the Lakshadweep islands. Madagascar has long been an interest of mine, it goes along with Mayotte and the Comoros historically, and several potential claims are near it such as Reunion island, and the Mauritius. I think my other historical claims are safe, too, and just hope that I can expand them,as I need all the mineral wealth that I can get.
I'm certainly willing to drop any expansions concerning Mozambique, and thus any Southern African terrktory, because the Horn of Africa, Eritrea, and Djibouti are extremely important to me. Eritrea has a coast that links it and Djibouti/the Horn of Africa together, and that is part of what makes them so important as it gives me control of a waterway that I controlled historically.
