Still, it's odd for me to see Gran Colombia in some of the top five categories...

Your development has been heavily subsidized by the French ... :)

Gran Columbia was building a lot of MBP in the old sim.
The big boost was the Island Commonwealth with its 3HBP.

All true.  But I'd grown accustomed to thinking of Gran Colombia as a lower-tier power.  Maybe that thinking needs to change.

Interesting...

The Reich seems a bit "bottom heavy" - not industrialised to its full potential as indicated by population. But that is probably because of the large Colonial population - 39 for Brandenburg the continent, 33 for Brandenburg the colonies...

Brandenburg has an "Open Door" policy when it comes to immigrants, especially to Ost Afrika and Viktorialand, and especially to Zambia, die neue Land of Opportunity...

Maybe half...or more of Rohan's increased population from 1898 has be from immigration and conquest (so to speak) from the annexed areas of the Anahuac Empire and lots of people from the broken ACM with some of the former 'Eastern Kingdom" poeples added it I suppose.  Same with two of the heavy factories being taken from the Anahuac Empire.  Rohan built two to three heavy factories between 1898 and 1906 with lots of medium factories built to support a decent rate of heavy factory construction.  Rohan was in theory on building medium factory #23-27 by 1905 even though it only had 14 in use with 11 heavy factories (plus one under construction), but that is up from 1898 (references to which unfortunately would be in my infrustructure or sim reports on the old board....:()

Ahoj!
Estimates put Habsburg European population as practically static. Although there is a 400-500,000 surplus of births over deaths, there also is mass emigration abroad - Baltikum, CSA, Norman Kingdom (America), France. To make that emigration from crowded villages "usefull", the Habsburgs acquired Parana, where some 200,000 people are settled each year.

Well estimates for the Netherlands in a net growth of around 0,8 million per year in Europe, and about the same number in the NOI.

Interesting that a country with 16 million people ends up in the population top, of course, the close to 60 million people in the colonies help increasing the numbers.
