Parliamentary Bill 0001 of the Second Parliament of the Resurgent Dream:
By order of Parliament, automobiles, computers, and other modern items banned in various kingdoms based purely upon a rejection of technology are hereby proclaimed legal throughout the Empire, though the Kingdoms retain the right to implement such restriction and regulation as they shall deem necessary for public safety and order.

"Another day, another market!" chortled Thierry Saltz, the obese president of Peacock Motors, as he flicked through the Imperial Financial Review and stuffed another whole croissant into his mouth. He pressed the button on his intercom.

"Marie, come in here. And bring some more coffee." he commanded his secretary, who dutifully entered Saltz' office a few minutes later with a fresh pot of coffee.

"Your coffee, Monsieur." she said.

"I want you to run down to Marketing and tell Charles Fizconstantine that the Resurgent Dream has just allowed automobiles into their country." he said, his mouth still full of croissant, as he held out his mug for his secretary to fill with coffee. She did so, and he placed it back down on the table after having a sip.

"Here, take this with you." he said, handing her the news magazine. "Page sixteen. Tell him to start looking into how to exploit that market! There's a good girl. On your way."

"Fat pig..." Marie murmured to herself on her way out after the bloated businessman pinched her behind.

Mr. Saltz has any number of ways he could get into the market. He could always enter the TRD economy as an international firm and set up shops himself. He could export cars to TRD dealerships. He could arrange to build factories with TRD labor and essentially reap the profits off TRD labor AND markets. And, of course, there are many more creative ways yet.

Industry Promotional Material

Peacock Motors is proud to export the finest automobiles in the world to dealers in the Resurgent Dream!

From the budget three-door Sujet (starting at just 4985 ducats) to the luxurious Imperiale, all Peacock Motors automobiles are of the highest quality and are a true pleasure to drive. Test drive one today and you'll agree - "La Voiture de Paon est Pour Conduire dans le Ciel"!

His Imperial Highness Prince Constantine is an avid car collector. He owns over eighty cars from all over the world, but his favourite drive by far is Peacock Motors' Prince Constantine. His Highness enjoys driving this sporty coupé so much that he insisted we name it after him!

"I've tried the rest, but Peacock's the best!" says Prince Constantine. Don't believe the advertisements of our competitors, put your stock in the word of a prince born to the purple! You won't regret it!

Peacock Motors - By Appointment to His Most Catholic and Imperial Majesty the Emperor

A total of 1,149 dealerships choose to order cars from Peacock Motors. They order various combinations of cars but, combined, the dealerships of TRD order 101,151 Sujets, 11,152 Imperiales, and 1,153 Prince Constantines.

ooc: In fact, should you really want to jump in, there is currently a trade show going on [url=http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=374233]here[/i] with all manner of craziness. If nothing else, could be fun to poke around. *grins*

Dozens of shops, guilds, and businesses send orders to various companies mentioned in the brochures. Thousands of computers, meats, articles of clothing, automobiles, locomotives, and other things of that sort are ordered and exports of magical artifacts, natural items, and other raw materials are offered to various interested companies in the Dominion.

((Sorry for the crappiness of post. It's kind of tricky to play out the actions of whole economic sectors at once in a way that doesn't sound dry.))
