Let's say for the sake of argument, the British Empire evolves thus:
1740: gain of Cuba during War of Jenkin's Ear
1783: Loss of Quebec, Nova Scotia, Thirteen Colonies
1784: gain of New Caledonia via Captain Cook's claim
1784-1800: Loyalists go to Cuba, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Australia
1806-8: Invasion of Rio de la Plata succeeds, Britain gains the southern cone of South America (gray portion in the south of the map), expanding to hold OTL Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and part of southeastern Brazil (up to Parana) over the next 20 years roughly.
1806: Cape Colony is taken over by the UK.
What's the best way the UK could gain the greatest number of settlers for its much larger empire? I know George II, George III are electors of Hanover - does that mean they could or would encourage settlers from there into their British possessions? What about other European countries - would they be encouraged to settle, and how? Free/cheap land?
