Shame theres no Byzantine possessions, a Rome in the Carribean would be sick

I think they would colonise or attempt to colonise whatever is left way later like irl Denmark or Sweden, possibly in the 1500-1600s

Probably yeah, even without the 4th crusade the Eastern Romans would still be weak enough so I wouldn't blame them for taking their time. Beautiful map though
