Urgh, I hate being unstable. But what can a mercantile nation such as mine do to appease isolationists?

I had a similar problem before. You'd stuck in a rut, if you appease them you hang your economy, if you don't they lynch your economy...

Soon we can perhaps cooperate with that? My current actions are giving me a vested interest in your stability, which increases by the post as the money I set aside to invest builds me a Corustarian Business Empire.

We'll see how effective my " campaign" in Iria turns out to be. I suspect it will get me some minor returns. I'd replicate my buying up strategy, but considering the country is in open revolution, broke and making no money at all, I would assume safety would be valued higher than coin. That said, moving to a foreign country is not an easy sell at all, patriotism can run pretty deep.
