With the capital, I'd go for the runaway slave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroons (not the same as Zb's link...) The rocket one is not a nice thing when someone fires one about 20 ft from your tent. (Personal experience) Oct 11 08, 1:34 PM

In Australia, the term 'maroon' is often used to refer to a player on the Queensland state rugby team in State-of-Origin competitions. This is, of course, because of the maroon color of their jumper. http://www.answers.com/topic/queensland-state-rugby-league-team Oct 11 08, 2:14 PM
