[quote=@Chairman Stein] I'm mostly looking at things like what New Jersey exports in terms of natural resources as well as historical cultural influences on the region. From the looks of my reading we're gonna see an interesting mix of Dutch and English culture on the Atlantic Merchants Guild/Atlantische Koopmans Gilde [/quote] Eh, not really. Like all places in the Mid-Atlantic region original Dutch and Swedish colonization was historically disposed by later English ownership who really began to develop the colonies. The original colonies having already been small trading posts basically. Their chapter was brief and short before Anglo ownership, followed by American. Later stronger influence would come in with the Irish or the Italians, especially the Italians; think Jersey Shore. But in terms of spoken languages, Spanish is second because Latino groups today are the largest group of people by origin and the Dutch, British, Irish, and Italian identities integrating themselves all in the cultural stew of "American white owning class".
