How to solve overcrowding?

[unmerged(58177)]

Hi all, Im playing Sweeden in Vicky 1.04 and during Crimean war stole Alaska from Russia and made it a colony. Until now it was a sleepy hole, but since I got full cit. party into power huge amounts of POPs migrated to this colony-som 63 POPs in 3 months Some 20 of them is unemployed and I dont know what to do with them? Best thing would be if I could force them to move into Sweeden (tried 100% taxes but they only moved to another province in the colony). Or should I just accept the fact they are in such a poor colony, expand RGOs and degrade imigrated craftsmen into workers? Any sugestions? Please

POPs outside of Europe will never migrate to Europe, so you don't have much of a choice really. Just keep expanding the RGOs and downgrade the craftsmen.

Although it may not be possible due to Culture, the OP might also be able to make the giant Swedeish army supplied by Alaskan troops :rofl:

yes, one-the POPs seems to be equally divided between the provinces, any way to sqeeze them into Sitka (the gold producing one)?

No thanks, this is just my 2nd game (and the 1st one I want to play to the end) and my goal is not to be gang raped by UK

On the related note, is there any reason why NOT to conquer all those bankrupt uncivilized minors? It just seems, unlike in EU2 or HoI2, that holding as much land as possible does not have any cons?

expanding RGO

I mean how to force them to move into Sitka province from the other Alaskan provinces to work in the precious metal mine, if I decide to expand only this RGO.

When annexing uncivilized nations, make sure not taking too much BB. While taking any number of provinces from an uncivilized nation doesn't give you any BB at all, annexing in one go would mean huge BB, if the country had lots of provinces.

Most minor uncivilized nations are not worth much, but might be good idea to dow them, if they bankrupted and you then will lose only 1 prestige when dowing.

What he meant with expanding RGO, was that you only expand the gold RGO, not the others. This way your population will eventually start moving from other provinces in the area to that gold province.
