If you're referring to the state of Georgia (in the U.S.):

When James Ogelthorpe founded the state of Georgia, he had intended it to be a place where criminals and debtors could start their life afresh. He intended to import silk worms and Mulberry trees so that they could flourish on a silk industry, much like the Chinese were at the time. However, the silk worms did not eat the Mulberry leaves, and the colony failed as a silk industry.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
