I'm trying to define it economically. A colony is something that's independent from any other authority, thus creating it's own ecosystem. There's no one in charge, but everyone works on the most rewarding tasks, thus maximizing rewards for the whole ecosystem.
- cwyers 7y agoThat is not how colonies work, no. The American colonies had to fight a war to be independent. Colonies are subservient jurisdictions.
- lazaroclapp 7y agoIt's using the term as in definitions #2-3 (particularly 3b) here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/colony https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/colony, not #1. They mean colony as in "a colony of ants", not the political structure.
- ctvo 7y agoYou mean a colony of ants that has a queen, workers and soldiers?
