With strong support from East Africa, Soga City has been developing steadily over the past few years. As for rapid development, that's unlikely; the houses built by the East African government have not yet been fully allocated. Only three blocks have been filled, mostly by workers and service personnel who maintain the city's operations.
This is quite normal, as East Africa is not well-known on the international stage. Researchers from various countries either choose to work in their own countries, attach themselves to the Five Great Powers—Britain, Germany, France, Austria, Russia—or consider other European countries. Some go to the United States, the land of entrepreneurs.
So, by 1881, Soga City had only attracted just over a thousand researchers and experts. Anyone with a university degree from Europe could be recruited by East Africa.
