Anything that I would disapprove that is posted and IC and my permission wasn't asked first will be ignored. I want to know about this before you post so I can analyze it and say yes or no.
Secondly. China, your ships arrived kinda of a bit to fast. I'll allow diplomatic relations but any trade agreements with countries will not be allowed until you IC post sending merchants and more than just exploring ships. And on this Dutch secret trade, Kengburg, you should have TGed me for my approval. Never post anything in that manner again without my seal of yes. And in random events I can make happen to your trade convoy. Now I'm not gonna be an asshole and do it but still. I want everyone to know that with giant trades and invasions many bad things can happen, good things can happen, but that is a small chance. Also no more secret operations of any kind without my approval are allowed. And Kengburg makes good points, backed up by Alleniana, but to be fair anything could have happened to this Secret Merchant Group. So, and I'm not saying I'm going to, but just because this thing is out of the blue and did not have my approval I may or may not random event it. I'm not saying I will but still this is a big trade, and really we cannot dictate the random things that happen. Indian Pirates could raid the shipping line and amyrogue navy could raid it, and if its protected enough, at least sink a ship or two. Now, I just got home and was skimming these posts so anything else I need to address? And I haven't been able to read a lot of the IC posts so I will do that in a little bit.
Yeah, I can see what you say, but I had at least two post talking about how long it took for the western fleet to get around africa. And of course they aren't really there for trading but to the Chinese, dpilomacy and trading is the same. We're basically just meeting the Europeans and telling them that they can get our goods in the Sinai



When I first applied to this RP, I wanted to be Sweden
