The position of the Lanfang Overseas Province on East Africa's geographical map can be considered quite important. It is adjacent to the Malacca Strait, and its location on Kalimantan Island is referred to as the crossroads of Nanyang. Although it can't compare to the British-controlled Strait Colonies (mainly parts of Malaysia, including Singapore), it stands out as the most presentable among East Africa's Nanyang overseas territories.
The initial development conditions far surpass those of the Mindanao Colony and Balabac Island. The Mindanao Island plains are too few, and the population is even sparser compared to the Lanfang Overseas Province.
While there are many indigenous people in Mindanao, in the eyes of the East African Government, they are all uncivilized barbarians. East Africa is currently conducting purging and suppression in the region, and the cost of governance remains high.
