Well, the republic would properly flood the market with mass-produced weaponry from their manofactoria´s, but food...well, with so many slaves working, they really could need a reliable source of food! 

For other relations, i could see the republic being quite arrogant towards your nation, yet not hostile. Treating them as "primitive Sea-dogs" they would be quite patronizing, but pay good coin for all food that they could bring, as long as they keep their pirates away from their black ships!

I think this sounds great, you will be in negotiations with Dane of The Gatherers and Clipper of the Pirates to arrange exxhange when we get started. Hopefully everyone involved can keep their ego in check :P
