France Antarctique
I've read a more detailed account of the French settlements in Brazil and there's really only one that deserves attention. It was settled in 1555 in two waves, but it took the Portugese until 1560 to destroy the colony. They didn't settle the area themselves so the survivors re-established the colony. It took another five years for Mem de Sá's nephew Estácio to attack it again and this time his uncle established a royal colony in the area.
So I'm thinking the first event is to transfer it from Portugal to France. That triggers an event for the French where they get some settlers and a minor number of troops for free. I'm undecided if there should be enough colonists to form a city or not; I don't have any firm figures other than the first wave consisted of 600 settlers. This matters because I'm tempted to give them a fort to give the Portugese something to chew on. I haven't quite figured out how to handle the reestablishment of the colony for France since they didn't really send out any reinforcements. My main ideas are to either put the province in revolt once the Portugese regain the place, or to retransfer the province to France again so the Portugese can do it all over again. For now I've put the troops and the fort in the French event if I decide to keep them. Ideas, thoughts?

#-#Nicolas Durand, Chevalier de Villegagnon and Vice-Admiral of Brittany was an ambitious man who thought to make a little money logging Brazilwood on the site of modern Rio de Janiero using those who sought a refuge from the religious strife that was engulfing France. His initial wave of settlers were mostly Protestants although he was forced to accept some Catholics and criminals to complete his expedition. He solicited more settlers from John Calvin in Geneva, but these proved to be very disruptive as they were obsessed with theological questions rather than cooperating for the good of the colony.
action_a = {

command = { type = inf which = 209 value = 1000 }
}
