They controled parts of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in 1700 (look at the campagin map shots and you'll see that). And New York was a Dutch colony in the 17th century. After the Anglo Dutch war in the 1670's (I think) the English got New Amsterdam (New York) and one of the Dutch cities in India (IIRC). The Dutch got Aruba, and the British territory in what is now Indonesia.

Now as for the Portuguese they will have territory on the map outside Europe. You see the first Europeans to set up trading factories in India were Portuguese and Dutch. The Portuguese first arrived at Goa in 1498 in the person of Vasco De Gama. Whether CA makes a Goa province under Portguese rule is another story. Goa is one of the few territories Portugal keeps after the Napoleonic wars (they held onto their African ones, Timor, and Macau). They only lost it in 1961 after India sent in 40000 troops.
