England tried to establish a colony at Roanoke, Virginia. 115 colonists were left there while ships went back to England to bring back necessary supplies. By the time the next supply ships arrived, three years later, all the settlers had disappeared without leaving any clue to their fate other than the word "CROATOAN" carved into a wooden post.

How would your country be different it the lost colony would have survived?

Please note that the Lost Colony was a colony, so if they survived, there would probably be another colony where it was.
