[Abe Sargent]

After Ming, we have the 2nd best income in the world (we know of all major competitors to the title, like Russia, England, Spain, Ottomans, etc)

We are the most developed country in the world. After all, our colonies start at high development, and those we have brought is have been so as well. When your tech growth is stunted, I have been spending DIP/MIL/ADM power here and there is key provinces to improve their development, as has everyone else. Well, that has clearly paid off. We have 1328 and the Ottomans 2nd with 1288 ,and Ming close behind at 1241.

Our techs are top for Asia, but well behind Europe

I recall colonists from Nias and send them to Natal in South Africa.
