Again, thats kind of what were getting at here.
And also pay tariffs on these trades? Maybe after 4-5 trades; the cost outweighs the benefit.
The native americans had a city on water; Tenochtitlan.
Why would I have more than 5 banking systems? Or anything for that matter? After a little while it becomes redundant and does no good. Think of it as the more banks you have, the more competition there is and the more efficiency there is. But there is a make to how much efficiency there is, five. Post-five improvements means max efficiency and getting a sixth would make no difference.
Maybe you should elaborate on these "etc's" since the above ones didn't work.
True, its not realistic, but its meant to be to some extent.
Not really. A new nation starts with $20 bills, and $50,000 dollars. They would last a long time.
Sorry for double post but I had more then the allowed quoted blocks of text.
