บท 249: Chapter 229: Landing! Landing!

Portuguese Timor is the second colony occupied by the Kingdom of Portugal in East Asia, and one of Portugal's crucial strongholds in Asia.

The current population of Portuguese Timor is over 350,000. Ninety percent are indigenous peoples, three percent are other foreign ethnic groups, and less than seven percent are white immigrants from Portugal and Europe.

Portuguese Timor is a small colony with a small population, with just over 20,000 white residents.

However, Portuguese Timor's economic value is high. Although the Netherlands gradually occupied more than half of the territory, which is the western region of East Timor Island, Portugal still retained its land on the eastern part of East Timor Island.

More importantly, Portuguese Timor, despite only 10,000 square kilometers, contains substantial mineral resources, including gold, manganese, chromium, tin, and copper. The nearby Timor Sea also boasts abundant resources of petroleum and natural gas.
