Portuguese California. Well, I guess it's close enough!
Rulers with any stat-value of 0 puts a damper on progress, esp. ideas and tech, in that field. It's always worse when you've been gearing towards, say, ADMIN, with a high Admin ruler then, suddenly...

Cosmopolitaine War
On 13 July 1650, the Viceroy Rui Teles de Meneses from the colony of Rio de Prata decided to declare war on Cosmopolitaine La Plata, the French colony on South America.
Now, one think that was taught to Portuguese Kings, was, never, but never, to go to war with France…. and a colony declaring war to a French colony is half way to declare war to there motherland.
Military technology was advance, but Portugal was still behind.
Long gone are the times that Portugal led in military technology.
Now, what most Kings like to do, to restore their prestige when is low, is to pick up a fight with a lesser technology nation.
So, in April 1651, the 3rd Inca Colony Conquest started, and it was considered a Crusade.
November 1651 the Kind creates the Peru Colony.
In a year, 7 provinces are annex with the full annexation of Peru.
English Colombia and Argentine asked for military Access, and the King accepted.
An enemy from my enemy is my friend. England was at war with France.
A Tenaille (fort level 4) was built in Lisboa.
Two battles against Inca Rebels are won by Portuguese and Colonial Peru. Then, France intervenes in the war and Portugal must defend is colonies.
England asked for military access, and was accepted. They were at war with France because there colony, Argentine was at war with Cosmopolitaine La Plata.
England was occupying Cornwall.
With this new war, a new loan of 173 ducats were taken.
To help this problem of money, taxes raise 7,5% in Mexico colony, bringing 1,72 more ducats.
They did not like that, raising a colonial Assembly.
After 16 years Gabriel de Aveiro was replace in Brazil viceroy by a Diplomat.
The Portuguese were dealing with rebels, peasants between the war with France, winning two more battles.
Opposing Military Schools made stability decline but Fort defence and army morale increase 10%.
In Colombia one province was lost, but most of Cosmopolitaine Colombia is under Portuguese control.
Portugal decided to stop Import iron, losing mercantilism (-1) and gaining in England’s opinion (+40).
International Castille makes a trade embargo to Aragon. Portugal supports Dutch Patriots with 0,96 ducats against France.
After 5 victories in South America, the French take their first Portuguese Indian province, sieging three others.
From Portugal, a new heir was born. D. João (1/1/2).
172 ducats were loan.
Debt and loans are now more cheap to take, thanks to the advance in economic.
After the French took their third province in India, the King decided to negotiate peace.
Portugal ask for:
- 4 provinces of Cosmopolitaine La Plata to be ceded to Rio da Prata;
- 5 provinces of Cosmopolitaine Colombia to be ceded to Portugal;
- 1 provinces of Cosmopolitaine Peru to Portugal;
- 3 provinces from France to Portugal;
- France pays 441 ducats to Portugal.
