Perhaps a bad question, but let us assume for a moment that the English and French crowns become stably united at some point, and remain that way into the period when both states started colonizing (say, the mid/late-1500s or so). How would such a state colonize? More like the English? (Settler colonies + profit colonies) or the French (profit all the way!)? Or neither, for that matter. Maybe it doesn't colonize at all?
