Nations to Add

I think it is becoming clear that we need more small nations and colonies to produce certain resources. The question is which ones to add.

For every country added, we must also do stats (population and GDP), starting buildings (industry, schools and so on) and starting infrastructure. That takes time.

Furthermore, it may not be worth adding some countries if they don't produce raw resources in high demand, like cement, lumber, and sulfur.

Which ones could be added?

Europe, North America, South America, East Asia and Australasia are covered. That leaves the Middle East and Africa.

Malaya is one that comes to mind, but that probably comes from my own area of concentration. Ottoman Palestine is another. In Africa, there are the Rhodesias, British East Africa, Kamerun, Italian Somaliland, Madagascar and French West Africa.

Malaya: Rubber, Sulfur, Grain, Crude Oil (Meat, Lumber, Iron, Coal)
Palestine: Grain, Sulfur, Cement, Meat (Crude Oil, Aluminium, Iron, Cement)
Rhodesia: Meat, Grain, Lumber, Aluminium (Uranium, Sulfur, Iron, Coal)
British East Africa: Meat, Grain, Sulfur, Cement (Lumber, Natural Gas, Iron, Rubber)

The big resource gaps are in sulfur and cement as you've pointed out.

I might have population stats for Rhodesia and Kenya at this time in my files.

I'd say meat or sulfur for Kamerun.

Mykal, I don't think there wouldn't be any real problem playing the Belgian Congo, but it would be difficult to get much done due to the low literacy rate. The first challenge with colonies, India or China is to get their deficit in goods in hand, then to get their budgets in order - a nation in revolution doesn't pay well.

It wouldn't be impossible, but looking at in game intelligence shows that the Congo has no industry. That would mean it is running deficits in a broad range of goods. It also is just scraping through a budget surplus at 40% tax. That suggests it needs ~75 million a turn in trade income.

Before taking on that challenge, try to improve Belgian industrial capacity, see if you can cut taxes to below 20%, build as many roads as you can each turn and try to raise the Belgian birth rate. That will be easier with a centrist or right wing government. You are very well placed at the moment and could turn into the breakthrough nation for this round with the right tactics.
