Come to Georgia
England invites you to the finest new colony!
What makes Georgia so special?
- Georgia is beautiful! Don't forget that.
- Georgia was the last colony to be established! By the English! We love the English, remember? We love them.
- Named after King George II! That's got to be worth something.
- Located in the beautiful South! (Be ready for mosquitos and mediocre southern cooking.)
- Founded by the illustrious (we think) James Oglethorpe for people to seek refuge from poverty, persecution, and general unpleasantness! So it's a great place, basically.
- Known for Oglethorpe's successful and peaceful encounters with the Native Americans! (But don't worry, they won't be around when you get here. Don't ask us why.)
- Okay, so there were some conflicts with the Native Americans. But that shouldn't be a bother!
- Have we mentioned that Georgia is beautiful? Please live here.
- Fun fact: the Native American Mary Musgrove served as James Oglethorpe's interpreter. For some reason, this should make you want to live in BEAUTIFUL GEORGIA.
- This BEAUTIFUL COLONY is run by James Oglethorpe (the illustrious one, remember?) but decisions are sometimes made as Parliament.
- By 1775, it'll be governed as a royal colony. Don't ask us how we can see the future. (We're not witches, we promise. At least, not if you come live in BEAUTIFUL GEORGIA.)

See that southernmost blob? Well, that's our blob and we're quite proud of it.
The Illustrious James Oglethorpe
You may not known this, but some of us affectionately call him "Jimmy Ogle." We actually don't. Don't call him that.
