This isnt something that matters if it goes through because I highly doubt anyone knew its official name was :
"The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations"

In fact, I have been playing the Tropico series over the years, starting with Tropico 3 and currently am on Tropico 5. Great games by the way and I highly recommend it (but not 5 unless you get all the dlc bundled together on sale, which I did). Though the way you start off your economies is by making Tobacco, Sugar, Coffee and various fruit plantations.

So are not plantations still in existence today and serviced by paid workers? I had assumed the slave connotation was a thing of the past.
