Het is te laat, je hebt de Nederlanders opgeroepen, makker. Bereid je voor op k o l o n i s a t i e.
spoiler
It is too late, you summoned the Dutch, mate. Prepare to be c o l o n i s e d.Do you implement your healthcare system in your colonies? Also how likely are the colonizers to marry the locals and produce tall offspring?
Asking for a friend.
First question: no, best we can do is force you to build dykes.
Second question: we wouldn’t actually visit you, we would hire your neighbors to subdue you.
