Port of Philadelphia

Description
Adds a seaport to Philadelphia

Historically the Port of Philadelphia was absolutely vital to the nation, and while it is somewhat upriver and therefore technically landlocked, it has always functioned fully as a naval and seaport from the colonial era through to the present.

What's more - Paradox gives Delaware port access and not Pennsylvania, which seems to make sense on the surface since Delaware has a good deal of actual coastline. However, in reality that coast is pretty much useless for anything other than vacations. In fact, the only true port that Delaware has is in Wilmington, which itself is also situated slightly upriver - barely 5 miles closer to the ocean than the lowest port in Pennsylvania. This means the only seaport in Delaware is just as "landlocked" as Pennsylvania's ports are, and I just won't stand for it any longer.

Note - this does edit the map, and will likely be incompatible with other mods that alter the map.

This mod was an awesome idea but is now very outdated, using it now reverts all sorts of map data to 2022 numbers, including changing arable_land sizes for many parts of the US.

This is great. I would love to see more mods like this one, as I'm really disappointed in the state modifiers and port locations. Many are missing, and often the ones that do exist are overzealous, such as Virginia getting the Appalachian Mountains decrease in infrastructure when only a tiny corner of the state is in the mountains. I wish the modifier was more like increased infrastructure usage of mining buildings and urban buildings were excluded. But then in West Virginia it makes sense that all buildings need more infrastructure because the whole state is mountains. No major urban center can directly route towards other major urban centers. Honestly I want the penalty to be higher in this case. Or back to ports, where is Texas's port modifier. Half the coast is good deep water harbors. Galveston was rivaling New Orleans in this era...speaking of which, where is Louisiana's port modifier? It's only where one of the world's largest navigable river systems meets the world's oceans.
