Colonization and Bom Liete

[miketr]

I want to increase the population down there.  What are the mechanics to "move" people from other parts of my nation down to south Atlantic Islands?  As I recall from the talks on the Chuvosa's islands they have a fair climate.

For that? I would say do what Borys does, throw a few dollars into, "Move to Bom Liete" and then fire 300,000 people down there.

As a metagaming point of view I want to get enough people down there to be worth building a single IC.

I am not sure what Borys math is per people.

Not sure there is a specific formula.  I generally just shuffle a fraction of my population growth around every couple of years to suit my whims.

I would suggest that $1 per 10,000 people might be reasonable, given that you've got to build homes and infrastructure in addition to moving them. 

The other issue is time - increase the islands' population too quickly and you'd lose social cohesion pretty quickly.

Off topic, but discovered due to topic: It seems you should probably move 0.25 BP from Portugal (9IC/4 = 2.25 Max BP) to Brazil (20IC/4 = 5 Max BP). Just a thought.

Oh...um....nevermind...sorry.

Ahoj!
I don't have a specific formula. If there is any, then it is closer to 1,5$ per 100,000.

I spend some money on it, write about it (once every five years or so), and I simply move an IMO reasonable amount of people (shipping capacity and capacity for absorption by host).

In early XXth century Canada took in 2-300,000 people a year, peaking at c.400,000, IIRC. As Parana is the size of France or Spain - 570,000 sq/km, and has one tenth the population*, I believe that I can use similar rates or settelement.

* France, with a less amiamble climate than Parana, had c.20M by end of XVIIIth century.
