Sprague temperature -71 to +70 degrees of Celsius means, that temperature extremes are more pronounced than on planet Earth. Only part of the planet's surface would be economically viable to settle within reasonable timeframe, while extreme colds or heats would require expensive long-term housing projects.

3 billions people would have very hard time to survive and thrive there, as even habitable Sprague's zone is no green paradise (desert rocky world). Nothing that can replace dead planet Leeds and its industrial output for Bretonia's economy.

This colony will need large chunks of money, goods and qualified labor over whole decades to be considered something more than credit sinkhole.

I don't see anything in current Bretonia, which could uplift economy to the pre-Gallic War level within less than several decades.

Yea, economically, it's screwed. Both Sprague and Canaria have redeeming qualities, but it will be decades to rebuild all the stuff

Welfare is more like "you got a matress, a roof over your head. You get food on ticket" et cetera et cetera. And in this case, I did not built the container house logic around land-based vehicles, though arguably that would be hard, but not impossible. I'd rather have used some sort of hover platform that can also act as a crane, hell larger ports probably got something similar on most House planets. So all in all, it should be probable to house that many people. Would it be comfortable? No.

I am not saying the planet should not be colonized or populated. Millions of people, some on the scale of numbers of Yuma, Gran Canaria, Nauru, Tangier, Akabat, etc. I think to start with 10 million and then increasing, a high number, but at least somewhat reasonable. Considering Yuma got under 5 million and those are also Bretonian refugees. But not 3 billion, aka not at the scale on Cambridge or Denver.

Well yeah. It is disco, I don't know why we are searching for logic, anymore

@Devtonia PR you are needed to shun this evil ukranian.

RE: Sprague and it's population - Kanzler Niemann - 06-10-2020

Just add more numbers.

RE: Sprague and it's population - Hemlocke - 06-11-2020

Maybe they could ask the local zoners to house their dislodged population. Oh wait...

[+] Does this sound like a problem to you?
Aside from jokes you have a good point after all. Combining this with annexation of Gran Canaria and post-war recession we should have interesting things happening in Bretonia. Strangely enough, there's none who is rising against the Crown at the moment and I'm looking forward for that to be fixed soon.

I see that once again Durandal is blamed for something.

You do realize there is only one player on this server you
can blame,right?

We saw how that went. I made the argument that "Hey, you have Sprague so leave GC alone." I mean, Bretonia is ssssoooo mighty and all.
That said, when I called them out on it, I got from one of the big Bret players, "It also puts us closer to the Corsairs."

In Omega 3, they were already plenty close. Keep digging up excuses.
