I didn't even know we could have planes and such.

And I was assuming that all this colonization talk was about colonizing territory *within* North America, not across the Atlantic. That seems like a bit of a stretch for a bunch of nations that are supposed to be barely getting through day-to-day. I figured the furthest "colonization" would go would be, like.. some dudes in Oregon "colonizing" a bit of Washington for its resources, or something like that. Cross-Atlantic trips seem a bit much. As do planes (and drones, as I read in someone's sheet).
