UK accepts trade with Monaco

We feel so secure now that you want to protect us.

 

[JohannaK]

Spain offers trade to everybody with the exception of Greece and accepts every offer of trade from countries that aren't Greece.

 

[CivOasis]

Monaco... is that an alliance?

EDIT:
Also, please remember that there are severe penalties to trading with nations at war with each other, especially if those nations are in alliances.

 

[Red_Spy]

Guaranteeing the independence mean if they are attacked I will help them, but it does not have to go the other way around.

 

[CivOasis]

Ok, thank you for the clarification.

 

[JohannaK]

We guarantee the independence of every nation in the EU except for Greece.

 

[CivOasis]

Greece isn't in the EU.
However, in case people have missed it... Macedonia is.
And Macedonia is allied with Greece against Albania.
Why do I mention this? Because, otherwise, a lot of you will be unpleasantly surprised when you get a 20% income penalty.

 

[JohannaK]

Correction: Spain guarantees the independence of all EU nations that are not at war in the moment this statement is being post and Spain offers trade to all nations in the EU that aren't Greece, allied with it or at war.

Mkay, edited orders

Canada accepts trade with Israel, Britain, Monaco, and Spain.

Also, please remember that there are severe penalties to trading with nations at war with each other, especially if those nations are in alliances.

So, when the going gets tough, embargo?

So, when the going gets tough, embargo?

Yep. The rules are made to (hopefully) push players into large, but distinct, alliances.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

I just noticed you said "at war with each other". To clarify, does the penalty apply when trading with a country warring against anybody, or just when those two are having at it?

 

[CivOasis]

The penalties only apply if you are involved with multiple sides of one conflict.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Even if you're a neutral party?

 

[CivOasis]

Yes. If they're in alliances, the penalties are higher (but, per alliance, not per nation).
Its to make you choose sides (or, stay out of the conflict, but less money for you), basically.
