There are not many countries these days that have colonies. Countries such as Britain Holland Spain Portugal Germany etc. had enslaved countries for hundreds of years in order to loot from them what they could. After WW2 it became uneconomic for them to maintain their hold on them and with US influence gaining hold in these areas the colonies were deserted. even the countries that were forced to become part of the USSR eventually regained their freedom. The only countries that are able to hold colonial sway over the peoples of other countries of the world are those that have veto power in the United Nations and therefore don't have to explain themselves.

There is some evidence of cultural and religious diversity in the New York Colony, as well as in Georgia and Rhode Island.
