[@SgtEasy] Polynesia is fine yeah. Australia is only mentioned in the crazed accounts of shipwreck survivors as a burning wasteland populated by incomprehensibly designed beasts. [@Dog]Hrm, right now we have two Britains, a Russian, and a German. Doesn't actually seem like there's THAT much in the area of the Empire, so until further notice, I'd say you can have the Ottomans have what they wish, under the presumption that after the Scientific Revolution and the Futile War, the territories they've occupied were given more autonomy/independence.
