And now, at last, the..
Mediterranean Trading League
1. The League is created to develope and increase trading in the area of the two seas and to make it more efficient, as well as to strenghten the already existing trade network.
2. Member nations (for now) will include Dacoillyrian Empire, Gaelic Empire, Cimberland, and the Pervashid Empire of Luca.
3. The member nations are to strenghten the Two-Sea area trading through lowering customs and giving minor tax releafs to those merchants willing to concentrate their trading on the Mediterranean trade network.
4. All member nations agree to tie the developement of their currency into the developement of the price of gold. The reason for this is to make it easy for merchants to exchange currency, as whatever changes happen in economic developement will happen to all member nations. As money exchange becomes easier through this, we expect the trading in the area to grow as well. This should also ensure that if a singular member nation would face economic problems, they will suffer only minor economic damage as long as they are tied down to the trade network of the Mediterranean.
5. In order to make the Mediterranean a valuable area of commerce, all non-Mediterranean nations are to benefit from the League as well, to ensure their willingness to continue trading in the area. Therefore, these benefits of trade will also be given to those non-Mediterranean nations that enter the Mediterranean trading network through a port of a member nation.
6. Member nations agree to form a Mediterranean-wide trade embargo against any non-Mediterranean nation that is at war with a member nation of the league (eg Nortugal at the moment).
