After a mild Famine the Grand Ruler has decided that it is necessary to extend our borders to 200nm to feed our tremendous population. We will allow foreign trade ships to pass even if they are not going to any port in Neoma.

Any non Neoman ships found fishing in the new Neoman waters will have their ships impounded, the crews will be sent back to their nation of origin and fined for illegal fishing. Their ships will be sold at international auction.

But we are understanding and will forgive Some of the illegal fishing that takes place. I.e people who don't know where they are fishing or if we believe that they are unaware of the new water boundaries of Neoma

We hope that the international community will accept our new claims for the greater good of feeding our citizens.

OOC: You could make it an exclusive trade area (I think thats the word) and just allow recreational fishing and ban all commercial fishing in the area. Jus a word of advice.

ooc. I'm aware but if i let non Neoman fishers in... And when they find out the mass amounts of big fish were engineered, i feared that they would come in droves and deprive the population of Neoma their food.

This is kinda an IC and OOC post so i just put in OOC

OOC: Ahh, I see. Genetically engineered fish? Sounds like something I've got.
