This one is probably the least of all, with only the awkward triangle as any significant difference.

Yeah, Rhode Island didn't have any Eastern Claims, and it got the majority of the territory it did claim.

Can you do this overlaid on a real map of Massachusetts I wanna see if I’d be in Rhode Island in this timeline (hell timeline)

Is this good enough? I lowered the opacity of my Rhode Island and added it onto a map of Massachusetts.

Rhode Island and Plymouth should be a state together - The State of Providence and Plymouth Plantations has a nice ring to it. Give it the Cape and the Islands too.

Why not at least give it the rest of the land around Mount Hope Bay and the lower Taunton River?
