Is it too late to join this? Could I join as an English company setting up in English controlled Canada?
[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;52420833]Is it too late to join this? Could I join as an English company setting up in English controlled Canada?[/QUOTE] That's fine, we could use another joint-stock-company. Just let me know where your HQ is and where your target colony is. If you want to play specifically for England, any part of the pink in Canada is "claimed" but England but not formally controlled by them in any way, that may be a good spot. Naming a chairman/head of the company is optional, that's just something Pez did to connect his colony to history with France. Just remember that the further west you decide to settle your colony at, the more difficult it will be for colonists and supplies to reach them.
Alternatively, the Commonwealth of West Florida and the St. Augustine Republic are now playable, however they are very weak in terms of economy and manpower and pretty much dependent on Georgia for protection at the moment. Current playable "states" I will allow: New Hampshire Rhode Island Connecticut New Jersey Pennsylvania Delaware Maryland West Florida St. Augustine Republic Debating to let Hayti in as a playable or not, that can be decided later.
I'll probably do something around the Thunder Bay area. That was reachable by ship in this era right?
Once again, The Great Lakes do not have access to the sea yet, you have to wait for the Erie Canal for that to be a thing.

All the land accessible by water is dark red except the shit on that huge northern bay and I'm pretty sure that freezes in the winter and that land isn't great for farming. Fuk. I was hoping to be somewhere in Ontario

Though I don't know what the population density is for the entire dark red area outside of along the St Lawarence River. If you do some research, you may find that there's a spot in the dark red area that isn't very populated by the English (or Quebecans) and ready for a charter to focus on

The territory had an average population density of 0.82/sqmi at this time. No idea how that was distributed tho. Assuming it wad equally distributed along the southern 1/4 of the territory it'd be around 2.5/sqmi

Probably could thank the French for not colonizing the whole thing instead trying to just trade with the natives, as oppose to England that just flooded the lands south of it with people that eventually rebelled.

While I'm sure you're dead set on being English, especially considering it is the prestige language of the region and how there is more Englishmen at your direct disposal, but have you considered [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Gaelic"]Gaelic[/URL]?

Because you couldn't get to Upper Canada via boat until 1825 because of the Lachine Rapids.
[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;52423544]It's going to be an Irish company.[/QUOTE] how do you intend on keeping the immigrants sober enough to colonise?
