No! Unless you are the UK, France, or some other European power with colonial leftovers. But you would have Guam wouldn't you?

Africa is the main spot for those overseas colonies. If we could, I would like to have Ghana as a protectrate. I think we only have those Pathetic Canary Islands as an oversea colony and that is it.

Sure, I'll take Guam.
T-Head, there's a mistake in the map. Bearcat said that GScott couldn't have Baja, but you gave it to him in the map.

Scott said I could have Cilicia, so here is the background of the nation.
1140: Pope Innocent II declares that Jesus Christ will completely forgive the sins of not only one who Crusades but one who lives in a Crusader Kingdom. He also declares the right of all peasants to relocate to a Crusader Kingdom regardless of their lord's wishes. This encourages thousands of Europeans to move to Armenia, Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli, and Jerusalem. About half end up living in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, while the other half live in the remaining 4 Kingdoms due to their increased safety.
1291: Kingdom of Jerusalem falls to Muslims. Mass influx of Christians from that area to the northern kingdoms. Muslims sign peace treaty with other 4 kingdoms, ending the Crusades. Armenia, Edessa, Antioch, and Tripoli unite into the Kingdom of Cilicia. Cilicia's first act is to proclaim the right of any Christian to live in the nation. Cilicia adopts Latin as it's official language, due to the fact it has people of all races and Latin is the most important language in Christianity.
1291-1914: Cilicia experiences rapid population growth due to Christian immigrants. First real crisis since the Wars of Independence (as the Crusades are called) comes with the French Huegenots. The Orthodox majority is wary of allowing the thousands of Protestants into the country but eventually the law prevails and the Huegenots enter Cilicia.
1914: Cilica enters WWI on the side of Allies. Cilica performs admirably and at the end of the war annexes Little Armenia from Turkey.
1948: Cilicia aids Israel in it's War of Independence and annexes Northern Jordania at the conclusion of the war.

The República federal de España would like to request an peace pact. Once this war is officially started. Your GNP seems to be a little high.

This is still a claims thread!Comment

Giancarlo, I believe your claim of all of the Iberian Peninsula, Morocco, and the entire Western Sahara explains why we treat you this way.Comment

OOC:I think he meant the province of Western Sahara (controlled by Morocco IRL) and not the region.The establishment of a Hebrew government and the implementation of its plans - this is the sole way of rescuing our people, salvaging our existence and our honor.
