Our colonial rule in the Caribbean has been called into question. With growing European competition, pressure of great powers, and logistical as well as economic challenges in maintaining our island holdings, some among the Flavor Rank believe it is time to sell off our Caribbean territories to focus on the defense of our European strongholds. Many are suggesting to sell our colonial possessions to Target Country, as they already have a presence in the region and have friendly relations with the Flavor Rank. However, others insist that our mission in the New World is far from over, and abandoning our colonies would be a grave mistake.

The islands had proven difficult to defend against attacks from natives, the English, and the Dutch, and the Order lacked the necessary financial and military resources to sustain them.
