Of course, East Africa still has some differences, given that the mainland of East Africa is unprecedentedly strong, while most of East Africa's colonies do not directly border East Africa. Ernst finds it hard to imagine the mainland being surpassed by the colonies in the future, unless the mainland eventually splits into many small nations.
Judging by the land area of East Africa, even if it splits into several nations, each nation's size would be considerable, with each receiving millions of square kilometers of land.
"With the progress of the Era, the old colonial order is very difficult to maintain. Don't be fooled by the present-day overseas empires of the UK, France, and Germany reaching their peak. Once their mainland declines, their current overseas territories will be hard to sustain."
"Not to mention, if we were to cause trouble for them, the colonies of the two countries would probably already be in turmoil by now."
