Hello, nations of NationStates!
The International Deetiluaiian Trade Index acts as a location where players can store information related to trade, and where other players can determine the main imports/exports of a nation, and the resources they don't really care about. This not only allows nations to get a better understanding of how a nation trades, but also helps them when trading with nations who participate in this thread, since they know what to trade and what to avoid trading or requesting.
This index is intended for PT/MT nations, but can be used by all techs.
Important: The dark grey background should only be used when the thing does not exist at all, it's not just an alternative to the strikethrough. If something is both stricken and color coded, we assume that the thing is banned officially but not in practice, or that it is being smuggled. If something has a dark grey background, it cannot be color coded, stricken, or underlined, because it doesn't exist.

An economic policy is optional, along with one custom item added to the index. Don’t add more than one item, change an item’s name, or remove an item. Also, please color code the words, don’t add the word at the beginning or the end or do something else entirely.
- Code: Select all
[b]Stable[/b] - This indicates that a nation has little interest in importing or exporting this item.
[b][color=blue]Oversupplied[/color][/b] - This indicates that supply greatly exceeds demand. This item is also regularly exported.
[b][color=green]Traded[/color][/b] - This indicates that supply is slightly greater or equal to demand. The item is commonly imported and exported.
[b][color=orange]Undersupplied[/color][/b] - This indicates that supply is lower than demand. Imports of this item are common and exports are uncommon.
[b][color=red]Critically Undersupplied[/color][/b] - This indicates that supply is critically lower than demand. This item is regularly imported and rarely exported.
If an item is given a [strike]strikethrough[/strike], imports/exports are illegal in this country, and it may be possibly banned. It may still have some demand, but smugglers will face penalties if caught.
If an item is [u]Underlined[/u], it is heavily restricted, and a permit is required from the government to obtain or use the item. Trading without a permit is illegal.
If an item has a [background=darkgrey]dark grey background[/background], it does not exist in that nation’s lore, for any reason.
