Netherlands pov
The Anglo Dutch war had stolen off of me my African colonies and a majority of my American holdings with the exception of a few islands alongside my South American holdings. So I decided to expand into Panama as the Spanish are still at the start of their colonial era in South America with New Spain in North America not even close to the colony. So we landed into Panama with us quickly colonizing a fair sized chunk of the area. (All of Modern day Panama) I then named the colony Dutch Panama with the goal of using the new economic boost to boost my colonial economy so that I can grow my economy easily.
