If you are talking about the American colonies then you are in the wrong time period. The American colonies only existed before, and during the American Revolutionary War. Only countries in Europe and the U.S. participated in WW1.
Yes, at the time of the American Revolution the colonies were primarily agrarian in terms of economics and lifestyle.

On July 4, 1776, America declared its independence from the country of Great Britain. At this time, the 13 colonies were still engaged in the Revolutionary War.
June 1776 was when the Declaration of Independence was signed, so there were 13 colonies at that time.

In Colonial America, there were only thirteen American colonies at the time that the Revolutionary Movement began simply because only that many had thus far been organized. It should be noted that there were, at the time, numerous other British colonies throughout the Americas, both to the north and to the south of what would soon become the (thirteen) United States of America.
At the time of the American Revolutionary War, the 13 original British/American colonies were fairly prosperous. The American colonies had provided Great Britain with a strong foothold in North America below its possession of British Canada. The American colonies, if not overtaxed and basically taken for granted by Great Britain, might have made the British Empire even stronger than it already was. There is nothing that would have prevented Great Britain from remaining to this day the most powerful nation in the world. This is of course subject to debate.
In the charter colonies, the majority of governmental matters were taken care of by the colonists themselves. The American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 to 1783.
There was no capital of the colonies. The American capital came about AFTER the war when the United States was established and the Constitution signed in 1789. Until that time each state had its own main city.
During the time of the Colonies and the American Revolution many things happened. If the colonists did not follow the laws, many were imprisoned and many were put to death.
