@Vanguardian Can you edit the post?

@Vanguardian The first post saying my claim is not yet valid.

<Snipped quote by UltikanaRe>

I agree. LordZell, no claims for you.

Also, I reserve France and all nations within the territories I occupy for storyline purposes. By the way, that colonial map is accurate and should probably be bigger being they conquered Portugal in the Second Colonial War.

There it is. I don't know about the Netherlands though, you can talk to Ultikana about that, because in this post, there is nothing about the Netherlands there.

Yea can he really hold all the powerful part of europe and at least a quarter of the rest of the world?

@Vanguardian you aren't seriously considering me giving up either of those, right? They are historically accurate without any changes. In fact, I think India+Nepal+Pakistan is bigger than that, and a hell of a lot of other scattered colonies, particularly in east Asia. Just pointing that out.

<Snipped quote by LordZell>

He doesn't really "hold" France, he is just using it as an NPC. He doesn't for say, control it. If I would have him release a part of land, it would be either India or the North American holdings. Either way, that standard is allowed for any person to join, so you could, for say, form a giant join Russo Chinese Empire.

Then why can't I use France?

Possibly interested. A Nordic union of Sweden, Norway and Finland sounds appealing.
As to this spat about France, why not simply allow Lord Zell to be France, and then the two of you can work out a history together that you both like. The fact that you're simply refusing to allow anyone to control France seems abit off to me, you've mentioned it two or three times in your NS and changes can easily be made.
