[@Aristo] Since Salodonia is deficient for crops and arable farming, but plentiful in industrial goods, perhaps Fusan and Salodonia have a mutual trade agreement for these things? 65% of Fusan's industry is agricultural farming without a large industry because of it's lack of oil and heavy metals?

[@MonkeyPants] It seems Trawa last a war, and much of it's surface fleet? Perhaps Fusan was the victor in that war? Unless you had other ideas. A small war for expansion after the militant Sawajiro faction takes power in Fusan could be a good story point for Trawa's loss of it's great surface fleet, ala Russo-Japanese War?
