Brazil Revolter drawn wrong

[Cagliostro]

If you release Brazil, they get one province, I believe Maranhao, which is separate from the rest of the country. The rest of it seems rationally drawn, and then they have one inland unconnected province...

Either that province should be removed from the list or the two connecting it to the rest of Brazil should be added.

Interesting, Brazil these days covers about twice the area shown in the revolt.txt file. There are 12 provinces listed there and I count another 13 that should be. But I don't know how much of that could really be counted as possibly being part of a Brazil in 1750. I imagine the provinces along the north-east coast up to Amapa would be though, at least. Anyone know C18th Brazilian history?

Doesn't seem like you have any takers.

I suggest you just take out the extra province - it seems like the simplest way to resolve the problem if nobody has a clear explanation of why Brazil should be expanded. Clearly they shouldn't get an unconnected inland province.

In the first place Brazil shouldn't be independent by 1750, It did not had the structure to be independent and would probably fragmentate into smaller states. However, IF a brazilian country was to be formed and to be united, the best way to represent it would be with a straight line from amapa down to curitiba, the system of "capitanias". I'm not sure if the bandeirantes had claimed central Brazil by that time

Well it is allowed to be a revolter from 1750 all the way up to 1820, not sure if that changes your suggestion. It would imply removing Cangucu from the current list of provinces (Recife, Pernambuc, Alagoas, Diamentia, Minas Gerais, Salvador, Itaimas, Niteroi, Araxa, Curitiba), and adding Para, Amapa, Marajo, Caracas, Goias, Matogrosso, Tiracambo, Parnaiba, and Iguatu. I'm assuming you're including all the inland provinces too, although I see in the 1795 scenario they are not yet occupied by POR.

Oddly, in the AoEn scenario Amapa is not occupied but the province inland from it, Manaus, is. I wonder if that's a bug.

OK, I've done that pending any further info from Zellot. Thanks.
