How many colonies do you have?

It is a lot of work to manage the colonies, at least for me.

At the moment my New England counts 5 colonies,
one with cotton, one with tabaco, one with sugar, one with iron, and one quite pointless the spains ... erm ... left :angel:

And there ist still this huge mass of land. It takes me a lot of years to bring all the treasures my scouts find to a galleon. I can't imagine to colonize a tenth of the land.

Ant then there is this thing with the independence...
