Describe the specific change you would like:

• Move the port in state 750 (Phnom Penh) from province 7432 to province 10317

• Add a 1 point VP in province 10317 called Kampot

• Add a 2 (or 1) point VP in province 4302 called Siem Reap (endonym when owned + controlled by SIA - Siemmarat)

Explain the reasoning behind this actionable change:

• I guess the reason why the port in state 750 is in province 7432 is because that is where Sihanoukville was, but in OTL, until the latter half of the 20th century, (so, before KRTL's PoD), I believe Kampot (which would be in province 10317) was the more important port
• Siem Reap is a large population centre that is culturally significant to Cambodia, as it is close to the Angkor temple complex. It feels weird not having city that is very important in Cambodia not have its own VP (and for the province terrain graphic you could just grab a picture of Angkor Wat as it was in the 1930s and it'd look fine)

Additional context:

• According to John A. Tully:

When the British diplomat Sir John Bowring visited in 1855, he reported that only one Cambodian seaport remained, the estuarine town of Kampot, but that it carried on a ‘considerable trade’. Square-rigged vessels regularly sailed to the Straits Settlements with cargoes of rice, gamboge, pepper and dyewoods. They brought back cotton goods, hardware and, less happily, opium from British India. The French missionary Monsignor Pallegoix described Kampot as a flourishing little town of 3000 people, with never less than 60 junks in the harbour. (Tully, John A. A Short History of Cambodia: From Empire to Survival, Allen & Unwin, 2006, p.76)

...The government had also sought to develop the country via a series of national plans, including a two-year plan in 1957– 58 and a five-year plan between 1960 and 1965, and had opened a bluewater port at Kompong Som (Sihanoukville) on the Gulf of Thailand in 1960. (Tully, John A. A Short History of Cambodia: From Empire to Survival, Allen & Unwin, 2006, p.140)

Shortly afterwards, the Scottish sea captain Alexander Hamilton published an account of two Cambodian seaports on the Gulf littoral. He described the town of ‘Cupangsoap’ (Kompong Som, or today’s Sihanoukville)... (Tully, John A. A Short History of Cambodia: From Empire to Survival, Allen & Unwin, 2006, p.66)

• Thus, although Sihanoukville existed as a seaport before the 20th century, it was not properly developed into a modern form until the 1960s, well beyond KR's timeframe, and the bigger port would probably have been Kampot in the 1930s. (Sihanoukville would also be called Kampong Som, since Sihanouk is not king in 1936 - not sure why Tully spells it Kompong other than perhaps to distinguish it from the spelling in the donor language, Malay 'kampong')
