mexico in 1880's scenario

[HMS Enterprize]

I was just looking at mexico in the above mentioned scenario- in almost every province there are 3000 unemployed clerks.

Is this in any way historically accurate? or is it simply an error in the set-up of the scenario?

I don't think anyone has looked at the 1880 POP files very closely since Victoria 1.0.

When first released, most countries in all scenarios were given extra clerk POPs to represent people like govt employees, white collar workers etc.

But that was five years ago and alot has changed with the game mechanics of Victoria. Since the vast majority (90%+) of players play the GC, with 1914 the second most popular scenario, the 1880 and 1861 scenarios have pretty much been ignored in patches and by modders. Plenty of fertile ground for reworking by player interested in doing something new in modding.

Wasn't the 1880 Scenairo added with one of the first patches? I bought Vic when it first came out and I think the 1880 scenairo was an answer for people who wanted an actual race for africa.

It was. 1.2, I think?

These are present in many countries and are supposed to represent an educated middle class who do not work in factories.

But, as Ohgamer said, most people play the GC. I prefer 1861 because Its shorter and I goes a lot quicker. But, since VIP is for the GC only I'll have to suck up the extra 25 years. But, I have noticed in Vanilla that there are lot of extra clerks.
