Timeline 1800s (Easternized World)

European migration to the New World
Up until the early 1700s, by and large, the only non-natives in Yodderick were East Asians. This changed when Japan, in control of vast areas, but with few people to populate them with, started to introduce indentured servitude into areas on the east coast of North Yodderick. In that area, the population was extremely sparse, yet there were many resources to exploit, and the area seemed like it was ripe for agriculture. Prior to 1725, the migration was just a trickle, but, increasingly throughout the 18th century, the floodgates began to open and subjects of the Japanese empire - particularly from England and the Netherlands - looked towards greener pastures, seeking to escape the overpopulation of Europe and work towards owning their own land - after working for their lord, of course. During this time, some major towns sprung up, such as Naikou (内港; New York City) and Sempou (川砦; Pennsville, NJ).
