After I finish all my planned expansions, I always end up spending a ridiculous amount of time building everything possible in every single province of my country.

Farms, ports, workshops, forts, towers, etc. I basically can't stop until almost every province is fully developed.

Does anyone else play like this, or am I just obsessed with developing every corner of my country? 😭

I was really very pleased to have managed to do all this with a country as tiny and weak as Portugal.

History

Following the Great Devastation (1652–1718), the Indian subcontinent experienced an unprecedented demographic collapse caused by pandemics, prolonged warfare, famine, and political fragmentation. As neighboring powers struggled with their own internal crises, the British East India Company transformed its commercial presence into a vast settler-colonial project.

Over the following centuries, millions of settlers from Britain and other parts of the Empire migrated to the region. The expansion of colonial rule was accompanied by violent conflicts, forced displacement, and the near destruction of many Indigenous societies, events collectively remembered as the Wars of Pacification.

In 1858, the territory was reorganized as the British Raj, later becoming a self-governing Dominion in 1931. Upon achieving full constitutional independence in 1958, it adopted the name Kingdom of Gangaria, while retaining the Westminster parliamentary system and the British monarch as its sovereign.

Today, Gangaria is one of the world's largest economies and a leading technological, industrial, and military power. At the same time, it continues to grapple with the legacy of colonialism through public debate, historical commissions, Indigenous rights initiatives, and ongoing discussions over national identity and historical reconciliation.

Lore: In this alternate timeline, the Indian subcontinent suffered a catastrophic demographic collapse between 1652 and 1718, allowing large-scale British settlement. Instead of becoming a typical colonial possession, it evolved into a settler dominion similar to Canada or Australia. After gaining independence in 1958, it became the Kingdom of Gangaria, a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth. Today, it is one of the world's leading technological, economic, and military powers, while still facing debates over its colonial past and the treatment of indigenous peoples.

O azul adicionado na bandeira representaria a casa de Orleans, a coroa verde seria em homenagem ao Pedro ll🤓

Fiz essa bandeira caso o projeto de ligar Angola e Moçambique tivesse dado certo e em algum momento essa colônia tivesse se tornado um reino associado a Portugal, tipo oq aconteceu com o Brasil no período joanino.

A MODERATE British Empire, with territories that I believe would be "natural" in a British federation.

Basically, in this universe almost everything turned out very well for France, the high point being the Napoleonic Wars which established France as a hegemonic world power.

Sobre o Chile estar anexado à República Platina (Argentina), a ideia é que Argentina e Chile nunca se separaram. Durante o período colonial, ambos fizeram parte da mesma administração espanhola, desenvolveram uma identidade muito próxima e permaneceram unidos após a independência.

O Paraguai dentro da República Platina pode ser comparado à Irlanda dentro do Reino Unido: uma região com identidade própria, historicamente instável e frequentemente fonte de tensões políticas.

Já o Uruguai e a Guiana fazem parte do Brasil graças a uma série de sucessos portugueses. A Banda Oriental foi colonizada e consolidada por Portugal antes que a Espanha pudesse garantir seu controle, enquanto a Guiana foi anexada durante o período joanino e reconhecida como compensação pelas invasões napoleônicas. Após a independência, o Brasil manteve ambos os territórios.

A Guerra do Pacífico nunca aconteceu porque o Chile não existe. Antofagasta continuou boliviana, garantindo o acesso da Bolívia ao mar, e o Peru manteve seus territórios do sul. Além disso, a República Platina precisava dedicar boa parte de sua atenção às constantes tensões no Paraguai, o que reduzia qualquer interesse em aventuras expansionistas no Pacífico.
