But the claim is legit: the Portuguese colonizers and the Mutapans allied to expell the Portuguese, for example. Time flows, so Mutapa could have been Portuguese when Yemen asked for it, but was then lost - maybe in the same period that África do Sul gained independence?
África do Sul gained its independence slowly, nobody can put down a certain independence date.
Um, no offense intended Turk but those borders are a tad ugly and the Mameluks seem to control about a fifth of Africa. Could you tone the Mameluks down slightly?
Oh, right, I missed that - and, uhnm, interesting concept.
Mauretanan Colonial Africa is only a proposal - though MOST of it is desert that no one really wants, and it's at least easier to reach from Mauretana than from any other place.
EDIT:
@ImmortalImpi: of course, go ahead.
Oh wow.
Trov, you may want to tone down your claims a bit too. I know it is mostly desert, but I think the game would benefit from a somewhat lesser claim.
Go ahead. I really enjoyed your history on Yemen and am interested to see their African expansion in map form. As long as it is not ludicrously excessive, I'll be happy to approve.
Yeah, I agree it's too large. But this is, I don't know, "Antwerpen Conference" (our ATL Berlin Conference), so every proposal must be taken "with a grain of salt", as they are at best intentions than actual claims, most of time.
The original plan was that the major powers should do some broad claims like this, and then redivide the lands.
I still think Venice has the resources to hold a little more than small islands, but I suppose they would have thought it unprofitable to hold parts of North Africa, and in the characteristic Venetian way, would have ignored it. I will probably add some small Venetian outposts in Central West Africa since these are likely to have been the most profitable.
Venice had always been about what gave them the most profit, and managed holdings in Greece until the 7th (!) Ottoman-Venetian war in the early 1700s.
Thus, as always, Venice would have looked to expand on islands.
Expect further claims from the office of the Doge.

I gave you a detailed history of cooperation between our peoples and you took Eritrea, which I mentioned as mine? Also a nono on the Nile delta.
Could we fix Northern Africa before moving on? It is a tad distracting.
Also, I think either Portugal or the UK would control that corner under Mauretania.
