not to intrude.. havn't found an 1870 map yet... however it seems about right.. just wondering the exact years for places..

forgive the intrusion.

p.s. if you are interested in trade or alliance just say.

I don't get why egypt would have it's own leader listed if it was your territory. I couldn't even play portugal and it was my nephew.

OOC: I think technically Egypt was some form of dependency of the Ottomans, or a codominium between Britain and the Ottomans. Gets messy cos the Sudan was a codominium of Britain and Egypt...

ICB: Japan feels it has nothing to learn from the Sick Man of Europe, except what not to do. Obviously relations with the Sublime Porte are kept cordial, but no substantive agreements are made.

Austrio-Hungary looks forward for increased relations with The Sublime State. We could arrange for the unemployed of your great state to start works for us on railroad construction and inside our factories at very competitive wages.
