Well, he could go with the "colonies" actually being puppet states of sorts. Revolutionary Republics they propped up.

Communities of "liberated" proletariat, you mean.
With PRK's presence is only for their "own good" by "helping" them to modernize. A process for which they generously "thank" the PRK by transporting them food and raw materials as "gifts".
Calling these "colonies" is vulgar and only something the imperialist scum would do.

@Cyclone@ZB1996 I edited that strip of land Cy said was in error.

@Louis Dabout It seems @Voltus_Ventus Didn't colour in your full claim on the original map, but worry not for I am not fussy and will not demand to keep my colonies there. I have once more readjusted my claim.

Everyone but @Gig and those who have yet to name their nations can be found on the legend.

@Gig, I forgot to add you, the next version will be fixed. I guess you're small and forgettable, like your people. :P
First you downgrade my glorious purple to Pink and now you forget to add me to the legend how insulting

But it's fixed now!

Though the elves have an enormous area of colonial authority now, though I imagine it's loosely regulated or patrolled.

Well, I am actually covering less sea routes than either you or Voltus does.
Partly because my colonies were placed along a certain line.
But yeah, military presence is only enough for policing purposes in general.
Also elven warships are rather fast so they can cover more territory with the same amount of ships.

I am willing to give up most of my colonial territories if there's a good reason for it.
A new player wishing to join is one of those.

@Willy Vereb

Willy, you complain about nations being too large and then a few days later you claim half the world -_-

I will remain with the Commonwealth having no colonies considering their history, though now I'm considering having those pockets between my nation and Yllendthyr and Zenovia being something akin to satellite states or just countries completely under the Commwealth's influence that are in the process of being peacefully/diplomatically annexed.

I was complaining about the size of core worlds. Because all of us were the size of USA or Russia in the original game. Even for the smallest states you could fit all of Europe in it.
Having "half the world" as colonies is considerably different than owning half the world as a developed and highly industrialized country.
Tell me how many tanks did India produce in comparison to the USSR?
Relatively small nations owning most of the world was pretty much what colonialism was all about.

I think you are underestimating how important India was to the British empire economically it provided immense amounts of wealth in both raw materials and manpower. It also had a really important textile industry.

Of course, of course.

I think I won't have "colonies" (satellite states), but I will raise my population in consideration of the fact that I probably control the largest quantity of developed land.

In slightly unrelated news, I'm wondering what would be a good title for the Commonwealth's leader. Majordomo makes sense, but then again it also just sounds odd

Maybe Archon? Perhaps even Kaiser, taking on the title of a monarch rather than a democratically elected leader?

In any case I think the lower level officials (governors) will be called Imperators.
