Small enough graven images of Polynesian gods, made of sandstone and rock salt, in quantities of several billion to the mile, would have served the state of Rhode Island well.
Alternatively, a large enough graven image of a polynesian god dropped on the state would have solved the problem semi-permanently. I think one at least five miles square might have done nicely, particularly if it had been traveling at several hundred miles per second.
On the other hand, I personally would have been hard pressed to survive the latter, so maybe I'd have preferred the former solution.
