SALE!!

Walter, Goa ain't Eye infested.  Actualy, as Glorious France knows, the cult of the eye was eradicated at El Dorado.

Okay, I know that that has happened, but with what Tan said, I began to doubt it or perhaps that a group of wannabees tried to blow some life back into the Eye.

So no Eye gouging needed then. :D

It's a bargain compared to what Japan wanted for Hainan.  Not that the Colombians would ever have asked about buying Hainan.

That was the "you already have more than enough ICs, BPs and revenue" pricetag, especially for nations such as France, Gran Columbia and Rohan. :D

Anyway, next HY I'll spend 1 or 2$ on "feel safe in Parana" leaflets and transport.

Sounds like you want the people to feel secure in an insecure part of the world. :)

The Kingdom of Bharat considers the territory of Goa as its by natural right and that the people there are not slaves to be traded between imperialist powers.  The government of his Majesty Chhatrapati Shahu IV, Maharaja of Bharat, will not look kindly on the sale of Goa.

This is exactly why I'm offering any willing Goan a free ticket to Parana.

Had I bought it, I'd garrison Goa with
- one wartime advanced infantry corps (recruited in Europe) - 1$
- two active advanced infantry corps (recruited locally) - 1$
- one wartime advanced light infantry corps (recruited in Bharat, Gujarat, Mughals, etc.) - 1$

200,000 men in wartime - yet I suppose I'd have to ship in reinforcements anyway - 5-6 weeks sailing time from Pola ...

Yes, but now you wouldn't have to go to war - you can sit back and let it come to you.

[Desertfox]

NS raises its bid to $1 and $1000 in monopoly money...

[Borys]

Ahoj!

Yes, but now you wouldn't have to go to war - you can sit back and let it come to you.

... and let the BLOOD FLOW!

Nevertheless, I don't feel like pledging somehting in the order of 500$ for that province. That would be neglecting my present holdings.

While I'm not going to close this down until most likely Monday night, the current high bid is $450.

Yikes. Though that is the cost of the IC and BP being sold...but yikes.

Well, if it would please His Majesty, we can leave Goa and remove all "Imperialist" objections. Of course this would include all non-native citizens and their families, all industrial infrastructure, and destroy all the military infrastructure. Of course we would salt the earth, plant land mines, and take anything of value whether it was ours or not too

Bharat's government would like to make clear that it understands the statement of the Brandenburg Government.  The Brandenburg government is considering destroying the industrial and economic infrastructure of the territory of Goa.  What is to happen to the people of Goa after Brandenburg has destroyed their way of making a living?

[TexanCowboy]

The CSA says they will adopt them, or blow up Bharat.  ;D

The same thing that would have happened to them if not for the grace of the Brandenburg Government in the first place. They'll go back to being backwater farmers and sheep herders, just as they would have been if not for our financial investment in the province. The Government of Bharat expresses such concern for it's "lost peoples" yet makes no offers for the province, only threats both veiled and open. We find this most disturbing and depressing.

I will post something on this tommorrow

If you blow something up there, just make sure to make it look like the Swiss did it. :)
