Transferring foreign POPs to your land

[Ambigore]

When you conquer foreign provinces, is it possible to encourage the conquered POPs to migrate to your home provinces/states and have them assimilate? Since migrants travel in small numbers, I assume its possible to say, conquer a Chinese province, close the RGO and watch 200k Chinese trickle to the USA and become Yankee. Grab the whole of China and you can have 500 million Yankees by the 1890s. Would this be possible?

Yes, however from my experience it works best if you close all factories and convert all of your pops to craftsmen, this may not in fact be quicker but from my experience it is.

Would work except closed RGO or factory is still seen as job opportunity. Better to destroy the factory and fill the RGO with as small POPs as possible so it's full of workers. Then other POPs will see there are no job opportunities there and are more likely to move.

I don't recall the millions of unemployed Indian pops emigrating to the UK in vanilla Victoria.

that is because South Asian pops are short range, not long range

short range pops will only migrate within their own continent, and generally only within a few provinces of their home.

Also, POPs won't go to Europe from other continents.

What are the long range POPs?
