But would a India holding make more money, i know it was a idea from me but looking into int i can see that Prussia having a small trading outpost in India might make more money then a island, the only advantage the island has is that it can be easy defended by a fleet. A Prussian port in India is a possibility. Thanks. |

If the Prussian are wise they stay as far as they can from getting involved in the rush for Africa as it will gain them nothing and focus their attention on Prussia Timor and maybe a Prussian India holding for use as trading and in the future for their navy. |

And they have control of Netherlands Ceylon, Singapore and a much larger Netherlands Suriname together with their regular control of the Netherlands East Indies. |

Unless the French Republic can make a agreement with the French government in exile (before they decide to have talks with the Louisiana Empire) in getting their colonies back, which i see is unlikely to happen. |

The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden then, who side are they on. 1. That's Poland.  2. Neutral, but more likely to fight for the Austrians than for the Russians. |
