@Taricus
You need a unit of food and I need a unit of phosphorous. We can provide for each-other and hopefully form a prosperous relationship on this continent. Would you be interested in this trade?

@RedDragon2000
I'm looking to trade my unit of aluminum for your unit of food. There is no need for our two very similar governments to compete when we could form bonds of friendship instead. We can work together to advance the interests of the revolution from the shadows. Are you interested?

Hey, would you be up for trading your iron inexchange for my wood? I feel like our governments could get along pretty well.

@veekie
Would you be willing to trade some coal for my oil? While you may be a monarchy we would be happy to set up some economic ties.

Thank you.
If it helps, this is an idea based on the open positions on the map and my abundance of good soil.

The Tuath Dé Kingdom

For countless centuries this Kingdom of farmers and sailors has been at peace, happily paying significant tributes of farm products and fish to the Protective Orders. The strong, centralised authority of the Crown successfully weathered the fall of the Protective Orders. Shipyards previously built fishing ships, after the fall it rapidly transformed into constructing shipping and trading vessels operated by the former fishing crews. The products of the highly fertile soils that were once used as tribute, and are now shipped around the world as trade items.
But this trade has created new issues, the new knowledge of science and technology has been seized by the highly educated aristocracy. The Royal family's control over the main ports (with the largest port city serving as the capital), the rivers and the majority of the fertile lands has long been the source of it's vast wealth and power. But industry, the production of industrial and consumer goods, offers the nobility a new source of wealth.
Will the Monarchy be able to adjust to the growing wealth of the lesser nobility? And can a nation long accustomed to peace cope with this new world of armies and heros?



EDIT; Is writing short, non-canon omakes acceptable for this quest?

Just a question, did those of us that invested last turn have an extra GPD to use this turn?

Are you interested in the trade deal I proposed? I'd like to further our relationship in the future if you are interested. Our positions on our continent could open up some interesting possibilities in the future if we were allied.

If you used all 3 GPD, no extras. If you only used two points last turn however, you have an extra this turn

Thank you.

This works, i might tweak it a bit once I start working you in, but it looks good. do you have the upper or lower map I mind?
 
Alright, thanks for the clarification on that.

@Mask This seems fair to us, and thus we agree to this deal.

It shames us to admit that we possess a deficit in aluminium and so the trade as of now cannot be excepted. However, further relations with fellow philosophers and revolutionaries would be desirable.

The Free Kepta are grateful to the Juleon for accepting this deal. We are interested in furthering our ties in the future as our ideologies are very closely aligned. As one of the few food-producers of the world, a partnership could prove to be very lucrative for the both of us.

@veekie
Would you be interested in trading your unit of nickel for a unit of food? It would solve one of your shortages and you'd be hard-pressed to find another trade for food beyond this one.

So am I reading it right that it takes about 3 turns worth of investment to gain results from Research or Investing actions?

Also by keeping track for you do you want us to just add in at the bottom of our posts something like 2/3 turns spent on research(chemicals) or Turn 1: 1 GPD spent on research (chemicals) Turn 2: 1 GPD spent on research (chemicals)?

I have questions, how close am I to finish building the port city? How many points for mining industry do I have now, 1, 2, or 3? How can I fix the strike problem, I imagine more mining investment would add more people?
