NationStates Jolt Archive

In essence, if a lot of nations in one region have high levels of one kind of industry, then all the nations in that region have the potential to be higher-ranked in -that industry-. Perhaps a slight economy boost as well? So regions have a potential of ending up being specialized in certain industries...

Sorry if suggestions for this kind of thing are 'forbidden', just thought it might be simpler than players having direct control of who they trade with, which is even somewhat unrealistic, IMHO.

It's not really forbidden, but all trade is pretty much included into your economic ratings automattically, and individual trade is dealt with over role-play.

Don't think Sal's going to do this one.

RolePlay it.

All trade is RolePlayed, and will not be changed. Nations stats (UN reports) are sometimes based on hidden trade stats, but you have little control over them compared to RolePlay.

And by all means, feel free to suggest away, though be prepared, admin have stated they will be changing nothing within the game (except bugs and glitches.)
