Colony
A Secundomian Colony is not officially a part of Secundomia, but a Government Official is put in charge of it's administration. The colony is lead by this appointed Protector, and he can make decisions as to what happens in the community. The Colony can oust their Protector, and demand a new one. However, the only Secundomian colony in existence (Sterling) is uninhabited, so this has never happened.
Dependency
