This seems well-covered. I'm done with land grabbing things. So what I need are ideas for non-land grabbing expansionist legis props, pres actions, or gov actions.

Willthescout7 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Would you consider colonization 'land grabbing?' I don't know how realistic of a possibility that was at the time, but it could potentially be tied to relationships with other European nations.

10centjimmy Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 For all these regions that are not listed, can we include leg props that "provide land grants to veterans/ volunteers/immigrants to settle newly acquired territory x"? Other ideas: - forcibly removing locals from territorial acquisitions in x without compensation - compensating former owners of property in x - provide land grants to native American tribes currently in reservations - endorse territorial constitution for territory x 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
