Well i guess i will put up my view on land focus nation vs sea focus nation in order to sway people to vote for making our nation more united.
Land focus nation (The People and past China, not PRC)
- Huge amount of land and population potential
- Headache on managing vast land
- Humongous production capability from massive amount of material source and area for setting up production.
- Able to absorb the trade goods if unsold, even at a "lose" (it lost wealth making margin)
- Able to stockpile goods due to spaceeeee!
- Massive population for warrior training
Sea focused nation (Trelli and past Dutch)
- Modest land and population potential
- No headache in managing land
- Some headache on tracking budgets and merchants
- Modest production capacity, limited by production space and reliance on imported materials.
- Inability to support industry without trade due to small population base.
- Lesser stockpile room and increased pressure to exchange goods fast.
- Heavily reliant on foreign warriors due to own population being much more productive and lacking in number.
We are the biggest producer
and consumer on this side of the sea. I'm putting our trade goods being significant portion of Trelli's total exchange.
33% from Not!Egypt
33% from Trelli and other trading partner
33% from The People
Trelli is a middle man, they can't absorb that amount of goods. So they buy low from one side and sell high to the other, using the difference to secure more goods and own industry.
Missing 33% of goods from our side (due to hostility) will clog up the exchange because they can't make up the difference.
So, from the above i draw the conclusion that cutoff of trade between us and Trelli will hurt both sides and cause big budget hole on Trelli.
