The Second Race to the West Coast
The Srivijaya, the Sinicans, and the Japanese had grown once more and desired to extend their colonies on the West Coast. The Sinicans and Japanese once again felt the need to find an alternative trade route to the Roman Empire by circumnavigation. This action, which had been one of the purposes of the colonies since the  beginning, had not happened yet and some believed that there was simply an endless extension of lands and seas and that Rome would never be found again if they could not get through India or the unorganized and dangerous territories of Central Asia. But the navigators that had grown up going from the Japanese Shogunates in OTL Alaska or who had moved back and forth from Zhimindi to mainland SInica or the Srivijaya Empire felt they knew better.

Hakuba Kazuhiro was the first Captain of the Japanese Navy to be born in the colonies. He was born in the Minamoto Shogunate near the city of New Shizuo (Juneau, Alaska). He also prompted the government to fun new expeditions in the warmer southern parts of the continent that had been rumored to be more populated and which might lead to a favorable trade route to Europe. It also could have a greater maximization of profits for the Empire because it is a more hospitable and fertile area than Alaska.

Trang Botum was similarly a success story from the colonies and his partner, and friend, Wang Tian Che also advocated for the Srivijaya and Sinicans to move south. This new fever prompted the distribution of a specific form of propaganda that sold these new territories as a “Haven” and a “Paradise”. The expeditions to these areas came along with volunteer colonists, most of them were the poor who gave their life savings to move there. Criminals, runaway prostitutes, people fleeing from their families, and also the homeless were also in high numbers on these ships moving to extend the colonies.
