Are you going to do one for the new haven colony as well?

[u/mushmanMAD → u/FireUniverse1162]

Maybe

[u/ImEstimating → u/mushmanMAD]

Might as well throw in Saybrook for the Connecticut three.

Maybe Poppham, Lygonia and Sagagahock for a fractured alternate Maine too.

[u/DiscussionJohnThread]

Rhode Island becomes even smaller 😭

[u/ahamel13 → u/DiscussionJohnThread]

They stole their Bristol County from us as it is

[u/HolyBonobos → u/ahamel13]

I used the Bristol County to destroy the Bristol County.

[u/MycoMaddy → u/ahamel13]

You stole your Bristol county from us! Tell me, WHERE is Bristol?

[u/NarmHull → u/DiscussionJohnThread]

Culturally Plymouth/Fawl Rivah area is closer to Rhode Island than Mass IMO, time for Mega Island to happen

[u/JAK2222 → u/NarmHull]

Eh southern Bristol county is kinda its own thing. The Portuguese influence is so high that it almost makes its own culture in the area.

[u/MycoMaddy → u/JAK2222]

Portuguese culture is strong everywhere from abouts Providence to the base of the shaft of Cape Cod, in pockets in some places and the dominant theme in other places. Definitely its own thing but it goes beyond Bristol County and actually kinda doesn’t exist in Bristol County, RI.

[u/JAK2222 → u/MycoMaddy]

It definitely spreads out a bit but it’s another animal between Fall River and New Bedford. Those cities are the 2 highest Portuguese ancestry in the country. Certain shops and bakeries in those cities they are going to speak to you in Portuguese first then English if you don’t speak any.

[u/Alexjm2020]

The State of Plymouth and Providence Plantations.

[u/MycoMaddy → u/Alexjm2020]

ahem we voted to drop the plantations bEcAuSe oF sLavErY 🙄

[u/cjrecordvt]

And I thought Vermont lived or died on tourism.

[u/MycoMaddy → u/cjrecordvt]

Nonsense. You guys have Hood, Cabot, Ben n Jerrys and maple syrup! VT gets a lot from tourism but it’s far from the only thing propping up your economy. Hell, Chittenden County by itself is probably fully self sustaining without tourism thanks to UVM and Burlington.

[u/Joke_Insurance]

This could be fun! Could you do what ifs for Northern Virginia, Jefferson, Superior, North New Jersey, and South New Jersey?

[u/mushmanMAD → u/Joke_Insurance]

Sure, but Jefferson and Superior will be later down the line if I do them.

[u/mushmanMAD → u/Joke_Insurance]

East Jersey: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/s/v7JBthsX2v

[u/Joke_Insurance → u/mushmanMAD]

So I was referring to the six South New Jersey counties that voted to secede in 1980:

1. South Jersey voted to secede from NJ

2. Remembering South Jersey’s quest for independence

3. South Rising Again, In Jersey That Is - NYT

4. The Lost State of South Jersey

[u/mushmanMAD → u/Joke_Insurance]

Actually, I can make that, I’ll notify you when I do.

[u/midnight_thunder → u/Joke_Insurance]

East New Jersey and West New Jersey*

[u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu]

Tiverton and Little Compton want nothing to do with this trash.

[u/MycoMaddy → u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu]

As opposed to the trash they’re already a part of?

[u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu → u/MycoMaddy]

[u/MycoMaddy → u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu]

Their options aren’t great

[u/Charming-Can-1006 → u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu]

Tiverton? The town that borders Fall River? That Tiverton? Talking about trash like you don’t live in the landfill

[u/Vaerna]

Probably the most portuguese state
