Olag the Great (as he was confident he soon would be known) was very grateful to be alive today. He had just received a wonderful honor. He was given the permission of the King of Sweden to expand his South African holdings, and get it producing lots of goods. He began making a plan on how to achieve this.
The first thing he would do was to sell plots of land very cheaply to Swedes, as long as they will live on it for 10 years. He would sell the land currently only occupied by natives, he would use a large army that he was certain to receive from his king to kick the natives off the land. This would get the land in the hands of loyal Swedes, and hopefully create some colonies just as productive as the American colonies of the British. His armed men would have orders to shoot any natives that even appear to be attempting to rebel. They will guard the Swedes well.
The Swedish army will also expand further into the interior of Africa, secure the natives in their areas, and clearing out some choice land to sell to Swedes. He will encourage the Swedes in the area to live separate from the natives because they could be dangerous if there is a rebellion. This will make it much easier to protect the Swedish lands. He will encourage the Swedes in the areas to make roads connecting their farms with trading centers and with military forts. Sweden would make itself into a glorious empire.
In a further move to both help Swedens economy and to encourage Swedes to move to the area, the Swedes will legalize the selling of slaves from their African holdings. They will offer money and food to members of the local tribes for slaves from the other tribes. This will divide the natives into factions that are slowly fighting each other, and make it less likely that the natives will rebel. There is also the fact that more Swedes, and maybe even people from other nations, will move there to take part in the growing trade.
In a move to make his men more powerful the king of Sweden has begun encouraging local gunsmiths to experiment with new types of rifles. He will give grand rewards to anyone who makes a significant discovery. The Swedish King has also sent out a decree stating that a growing population is a happy population.
Orders:
-send all more current ships to transport 58,000 men to Africa
-expand in africa with my troops, having my men protect the Swedish populace as we expand
-legalize slavery, and encourage slave traders to go out and cause wars between the tribes
-encourage more people to move to Swedish africa and Madagascar by selling land to them cheaply, and encouraging them to join the slave trade.
-spend all 8 of my incoming economies on galleons
-use these new galleons to pickup slaves from the slave trade and bring them to the ports of the Spanish carribean and Mexico to sell.
-Tell the other nations of the world to talk to me if they would like to purchase slaves. No questions will be asked as to the purpose.
