Doggerland colionial empire

The Doggerland colonial empire consisted of one colony in modern day Georgia, United States.

History

The Doggerland Colonial Empire began with the founding of New Nandels on modern day Jykell Island in 1682. Upon landfall the same year contact was established with natives and was peaceful for the time being. The next year exploration of the area increased and the founding New Kensingston where modern day Brunswick, Georgia, United States is. The Doggerland Colonial Empire Reached its peak in 1701 with a total population of around 4,305 and a total of around 28 settlements. In 1702 outer and inland settlements began to collapse from various factors such as disease, emigration, and deteriorating relations with the natives. Around this time Doggerland began to struggle economically due to high costs of upkeep. In 1709 the colony was sold to the British.
