Come think of it, what's Colombia's story? Panama secceeded as a result of the One Thousand Days War between Liberales and Conservadores with a lot of US interventions that supported Panamanian independence because of the Canal, did it not happen in the end?

Congress just accepted the deal, so the US has no reason to seperate Panama.

Panama didn't secede from Colombia because the Senate accepted the deal with the US over the canal because these terms were favourable. As such the US had no incentive to fund Panamanian rebels.

And does the Canal belong to Colombia or the US?

The Hay-Herrán treaty gave the soil and the canal to the US, for payments to Colombia.

So Colombia enjoyed a very short stint at the top of my list for possible nation choices...

Well, technically the treaty could have been worded differently because a player was controlling the US when it happened, giving more (or less) benefits to Colombia. Not sure.

Of course, the U.S may own, but who says it has to remain that way...

Much more benefits. It's joint-controlled and more payments. The US does the security but the Colombians get all the money in tolls from it.

Man, Persia really seems like an awesome country, what with all that history, industrialization, railroads and resources. Aside from the fact it's a monarchy! No pesky internal politics to worry about. And the UK's approval. And a probably weakened Ottoman Empire ripe for picking.

No internal politics? Industrialisation? Railroads? Are you sure we're not talking about a different Persia here?

If you want to go Persia it's up for grabs.

No, I meant... I kind of want Colombia, because it's my country and all, if it's possible to reserve it but I might live as Austria-Hungary (and if I don't, he had picked it up faster than I had) so it's best if I leave it to Aegon.
