Pennsylvania+2


 * Pennsylvania**

The great colony of Pennsylvania, formerly Penn's Woods, is in the exotic locale of the New World. An English colony was presented to William Penn (see below) by Charles II. The King used this gift to expunge an $80,000 debt to Penn. He called this colony Pennsylvania. Our land has much open space and fertile soil. Many farms dot the countryside. There is much flat pasture land. Many people have already come here to start towns and cities. Outside of these towns, though, the natural resources remain undisturbed. It is extremely beautiful here.
 * Introduction**

William Penn was born in England on October 14, 1644. He and his father were personal friends of the King of England, Charles II. When his father, John Penn, died, he inherited a claim for the sum of $80,000. The amount was earned by Penn's father while gambling with Charles II. In 1681, Penn asked the King for 40,000 square miles west of the Delaware River. This beautiful area was used to pay off this debt. Penn was part of a unique religious sect called the Quakers, so when you come here, you can be free to express your religious beliefs freely and openly.There is plenty of space for farming, along with and other occupations that require a lot of space.

The geographical profile of Pennsylvania is an astounding one at the very least. Many mountains and hills dot the land. Trout kills run through open fields andd pastures. Forests and stands of trees supply any wood or timber needed. Natural limestone and granite quarries provide any masonary resources. Even though Pennsylvania has all of these good things, there are a few so-so things. There are a few encounters with bears every week, but usually they get scared and run away. There are sinkholes where the Anthracite and Bituminite coal has washed away, but these are incredibly rare. They'll probably never collapse. There are many beautiful waterfalls that have amazing views from the peak. Don't walk off the edge, though! Also, there are rather few physicians. That's hunky-dory, though, as the air is so clean, no one ever falls ill. Every village has a plethora of wells for water.
