I take a survey of all provinces added since I have been born:

Riau - Taken from Atjeh in war, Riau is a fairly minor province with 8729 people working in Naval Supplies. Riau only yields 10 ducats annually to us and send 3 to Malacca. Riau is Indonesian and Sunni.

Malacca - The jewel of Mataram's empire. Malacca was annexed by Atjeh, then captured by us during our war with Atjeh. Malacca is our most valuable possession is every respect. It is the most populous with 38628 citizens working the spice trade. Malacca also hosts a Center of Trade, which creates a very valuable amount of money. 75 ducats are added annually to our kingdom from the Center of Trade and province. Malacca contributes 20 ducats to her own Center of trade. The people here are of Malay decent and are Sunni.

Palembang - A colonized province, Palembang has 9801 inhabitants working on Spices. A fully built up province with walls and a tax collector, Palembang adds 17 ducats to our coffers and sends 15 to Malacca.

Bandung - In the middle of the Java Isle lies Bandung, our largest colony. 15000 natives joined with the city to create a growing city. Bandung has 18742 people working out in the cotton fields. She adds 18 ducts to our rolls and ships 10 to Malacca.

Sunda - Also on the Javan isle, Sunda was initially settled long ago, but recently brought up to size. The Spice workers here number 1177. Sunda creates 18 ducats annually and adds 13 to Malaccas rich CoT.

Sarawak - A small colony where the natives were killed, Sarawak has 764 colonists. Sarawak could use some more people to work in Naval Supplies. She sends 11 ducats to us and 3 to Malacca.

Bandjarmasin - Our last major colonization where we gained the native support, Bandjarmasin has 9270 people who also export Spice. 15 ducats are created annually and 15 are created over in Malacca.

Sulawesi - Our most recent colonization and taken from the Portugese, our armies bruned down the natives and we set up shop. Continued colonist expeditions to the province have elevated the population to 1142. Sulawesi works the Coffee trade and makes 15 ductas annualy while 11 are sent to Malacca.

Manado - The northern panhandle of the island features more spice trade with 7343 people making 15 ducats annualy and 15 in Malacca as well.


The Indies, what we know of them, are completely under our control.

Except for one little province named Ajeh.
