If the Dutch executed their plan and moved 160,000 Indonesian Dutch Eurasians aka Indo people to Netherlands New Guinea between 1947-1970, could there today (2014) be 1-1.2 million Eurasians in West Papua?
If they had moved there, they could surely have founded new settlements and renamed existing ones, so do you find it realistic if I change names of certain West Papua localities to Frederick-Hendrikdorp, Schoutenburg, etc South Aftican sounding names?
And if Netherlands had allowed Netherlands New Guinea to join the Melanesian Federation, which would've been formed as a Commonwealth realm,
Do you think West Papua and its Eurasians would've come to dominate the federation politically as its most populous and European state, that is, multiple prime ministers and other ministers, government officials and civil servants would come from thence? And Dutch language would have much use and importance.
