Max Himself has proclaimed that this April Fools will play host to the Global Trade Fair, where "nations are invited to view and collect a range of goods, which you may stash and display in your regions." The obvious questions are obvious: how does collection happen? What currency do you need to collect stuff? How much stuff can you collect? How is TNP going to cope with so much stuff being put on display?
Max also warns that "this will be a celebration of love and co-operation! And to keep it that way, there will be inspections and confiscations." A part of me wants to say that this is going to result in entire collections being arbitrarily wiped (in moves similar to those that have rendered around-the-clock zombie border control impossible for the past two years); a part of me wants to say this is a homage to several dozen Ukrainian tractors
All will be revealed in approximately 66 hours.
