[quote=@ClocktowerEchos] [@Iluvatar]There are a two things I feel the need to point out: 1) You have a very disconjointed and separated nation, literally anyone can just come in and wipe and island out seeing as most people have armies larger than your entire population. I highly recommend you find a strong ally in one of the places you wish to trade so you aren't instantly nommed on. (The Grand Commonwealth Union is available for such a relationship if you want :p)[/quote] To his benefit island landings would be difficult since the invader clearly has the least maneuverability in such a concentrated shore landing than a defender. But the issue with all the British islands in the Caribbean is that they're spread so far apart that the defense could still be put on dire straights by the time the Bahamas is aware, and then defeated by the time reinforcements arrive. [quote]2) As Shorticus mentioned, there is no real way of producing rubber and whatever electronics you have is best kept to yourself. Unless you some how got an expedition into Africa and is now sending your copious amounts of rubber, I don't see it being too likely you'll be exporting rubber. While synthetic rubber might be an option, again I feel that its something best kept to yourself along with electronics as its probably one of the things that would keep you alive.[/quote] I think it's safe to say for the region any hopes of modern chemical production is pretty much dead. Not to say all electronics will be dead in sixty years (I thought we were a century removed from Armageddon?) but the means of making more and maintaining then is pretty much over. It's complicated more when computer technology really does need mines in the Congo for the requisite materials.
