*Spanish colony of Nueva Guinea: The name was coined by the Spanish explorer Yñigo Ortiz de Retez in 1545 during a stop in which he claimed the island for Spain. During the Augustine wars the Spanish empire avoided the wars that wrecked Europe and wanted to expand their colonially holdings in Asia. In 1811 they seized west Papua from the VOC aligned Sultanate of Tidore during the occupation of the Netherlands by French forces. Between 1811 and 1860 they slowly expanded their holdings on the North side of the island of New Guinea. The Spanish didn't really attempt to establish control on the interior of the island but instead used a series of coastal forts and ports to trade luxury goods with friendly natives tribes. Additionally starting in the 1830's the Jesuit Order was given a mandate to the Christianize the island's inhabitants by the Spanish crown; the Jesuits built a number of missions, churches and catholic schools in the interior of the island. The in the late 1880's after the Communard wars and fearing British encroachment on their colony the Spanish started to intensify colonization and control of the island and build settlements on the southern coast of the island. |

*Las Islas del Espíritu Santo (OTL Vanuatu): Discovered and claimed by the Spainish in OTL, came back in the 19th century during their 'turn towards Asia'. Spanish set up cash crop plantations and brought in laborers from their other Asian colonies. |

*New Sardinia: Similar history to OTL, French come by pre communard wars for sandlewood and other trade but ittl no penal colony on the island which means the Kanak people are the dominate population. |

*British: in the late 18th century Hicks along with other British explorers/ sailors and whalers visit the south pacific, name some islands and make contact. Much like in OTL the British empire starts to see Tahiti as "a sailors paradise" and starts building good relationships with natives in Tahiti and in Bora-bora (at this point no real colonialism happens yet just a relatively equal (sometimes) trade relationship and the British putting their thumbs on the scale when it comes to island conflicts sometimes). Later when colonization of Western Oceania kicks off the British (along with the French of course) shift their regional focus to the western pacific (which might allow the Genoans time to start building relationships / annexing islands in the region) . In the late 1800's after Genoa, Spain and maybe some other minor powers start sizing up the south pacific, this leads to the British returning attention to the South Pacific and start annexing islands where they can and creating protectorates out of friendly kingdoms. During this time British private enterprise would be investing in the islands and starting copra plantions, phosphorus mines, sandlewood operations, sea cucumbers harvesting etc. |
|||
*Genoa: Basically what I said earlier, Genoa uses their base in Panama city to expand into the Pacific starting with buying islands from Colombia and Spain (Galapagos y Rapa Nui) , finding uninhabited islands (in the case of Pitcairns) and then,slipping under the nose of the British, getting Tonga to become a protectorate of theirs while other powers were busy elsewhere. |
|||
*the Netherlands: So we talked a bit about the idea of a Dutch Norfolk but I think I came up with some lore (also maybe re-purposing BigSchwartz Mijnclara name) for the island. Basically the French colonize the islands (which would be uninhabited at the time) first while they set up their first colony in Australia but abandon the island soon after and focus on Australia and then New Zealand. Then shortly after Dutch sailors (some from NL proper, others from east indies and Taulandt) start using the island as a whaling base and in late 1850s after the loss in the Spanish-Dutch war decide to annex the island (as kinda of a PR move to show "hey things aren't that bad", maybe also it's a personal project of the Crown to regain some popularity amongst the people). |

'''''Peoria''''' |
|||
The French founded a fort where present day Peoria is in 1680 but it was destroyed in a native raid and had to be rebuilt in 1683. By the turn of the 17th century Peoria was a small civilian settlement and outpost of French control in the "Upper Country". After Prince Maurice's war and Dutch annexation of the Meerenland in 1755 and the creation of the Dutch Mississippi colony in 1761 the settlement grew in importance as a hub of Dutch colonial administration. In the early and mid 19th century Peoria was overshadowed by other growing cities in Meerenland and it wasn't until the post-war railroad boom in the 1860's and 1870's that Peoria really started to become a major city in North America. Due to it's geographic location and history as an administrative center of the Dutch, Peoria became Tussenland's premier railroad hub. Overtime Peoria grew to become one of Tuseenland's largest cities, Meerenland's largest city and one of the largest cities in North America. During this time Meerenland lost a lot of it's historic Old Country French cultural influence and has become a city that melded Dutch-Amerikaener, French-Meerenlander, native and immigrant influences into its diverse urban fabric. |
|||
'''''Detroit''''' |
|||
The 2nd largest city in Meerenland and the largest throughly Francophone city in the province. Detroit grew rapidly from it's humble beginnings as a French fur trading fort in 1701. |
|||
'''''Saint-Alexis''''' |
|||
The 4th largest city in Meerenland, founded in 1730 by French explorers Saint Alexis has historically been a seen as a cultural capital of Meerenland and homeland of the distinct upper-country French dialect. After the 1861 Meerenland rebellion (part of the larger Tussenland responsible government movement) and the creation of the Dutch federation of Tussenland Saint-Alexis was made the capital of Meerenland. After independence in 1910 Saint-Alexis kept as the capital of the province and while missing the large industry-boom that nearby cities of Peoria, Hulhorst, Mazoires and Detroit, the city experienced a population boom in the mid 20th century due to the rise of the University of Meerenland and an increase in the regional tourism industry. Today Saint-Alexis is known for it's thriving university, picturesque waterfront district and seat of the Meerenland provincial government. |

Founded in 1762, the settlement of Groenveld consolidated surrounding Dutch-Amerikaens settlements into a more easily defensible and centerized location after the 1762 charter of the Mississippi settler colony. Owing to it's location in the center of Mississippi Groenveld rapidly grow in importance and by the turn of the 19th century it was the premier Dutch settlement west of Daesemus and the heart of the Mississippi colony In the 19th century Groenveld became an important stop in many of the Boer-trails from NNL and Mississippi towards the newly formed Voortrekker republics. After the 1850 Dutch-Spanish War, further investment in the region to protect the heart of the Tussenland colony, migration of Suyderlings from former South Tussenland, creation of the Tussenland railroad system and further expeditions and settlements into western Tussenland cemented the role of Groenveld as a regional administrative hub for Mississippi. By the turn of the 20th century, Groenveld lost it's position as the largest cities in Mississippi to Krusdorp in the west who grew as the "Gateway to Westerzee". in the 20th century after advances in industrialized farming and agriculture central Mississippi become of the great breadbaskets of North America and Groenveld has become an important distribution hub for farmers throughout Mississippi. |
