Immigration to Brazil
I know this is probably the most worn out topic, but...
I can't, no matter what, raise to a substantial number immigration flow to Brazil. What am I doing wrong?
Playing in Revolutions VIP, my strategy is as follows:
1) Since parties in Brazil suck, i.e. liberals supporting slavery, I install a more immigrant friendly Presidential Dictatorship, which does allow a trickle of immigrants to come by, opposed to none at all under liberal rule.
2) I try to research techs allowing for an increased plurality early on, reachin 35 to 40%+ within 10 to 20 years into the game.
3) Industrialization. Big Time. I promote a capitalist early on in the most populous regions and in São Paulo (my home state

). Still, just a trickle of immigrants, even with whole industries totally empty.
4) When slavery is abolished, I move towards a democratic rule, under a liberal party which is intervencionist, secularized, full citizenship, anti military.
I guess that's basically it... And even though some immigration does come by... well... is not nearly enough. And nowhere near the proportional rate of immigration to the US, not to mention Argentina!!!!
Any help is most welcome!
