A more realistic Peshawar Lancers

[Archangel]

So what your saying is that most of population is dead, most of bureaucracy and government has been decapitated, most of the merchant marine is destroyed, and its principal ports are devastated. Given this the highland minority will be able to restore order in time, to reconstruct their ports and merchant marine, in order to evacuate their population to a hostile territory in Africa where they had only a loose control of the coast.

I'm not buying it.

Considering that Portugal is in a latitude that will be habitable, like we can see by the states in Italy and the Balkans, the nearly 900000 survivors (around 20% of the pre Fall population) will be in a reasonable condition to survive (even considering they will experience some bad times), plus they can later rebuild things, and since they can move to the lower more fertile grounds after a while (and most urban centers are gone), and the percentage of farmers in the population is larger, they will be back (I just can't tell whether as reunited with Brazil or independent (probably with German kings), for more details, please see these posts).
Keep also in mind that the Portuguese colonies can also send ships to collect people, and the map refers to a period long after the fall.

Good Day,

The population in the interior could and would be evacuated to both Angola and Mozambique including the southern islands (Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe)

Remember that the Portuguese were alot less racist then the English. If the English could movve people and settle thousands of miles away so could the Portuguese.

The Tejo Estuary could provide the proper place for evacaution. You do not need a huge harbour, people could be rowed out to the ships and loaded up by net or climb up.

I also find it amazing that only the English had the foresite to evacuate and noone else could when they also had ships and territory to move people. Maybe they would not move them as fast but they could still move part of their remaining population.

I keep seeing these references that California would go it's own way. I have to ask why? Sure the Union Pacific Railroad would close due to increased storms in the passes but the Southern Pacific was already across the Colorado river at Yuma at this time on the way to Tucson. Yuma was also the end of the Santa Fe trail with one of the largest army supply base in the west. At that time steam boats still ran from the Gulf of California up the Colorado to Yuma and points north. Contact with the rest of the United States would continue on this sourthern route. Yes there were telegraph lines already contecting Arizona and New Mexico with the rest of the Union. One last thing, Oregon and Washington are not going to just be taken over by California nor would Nevada.

Anyone want to continue this project in any appreciable manner?
