<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

My idea is that the independent Myrese trade networks were confined to the shallow coast and rivers of Mycoria and after the arrival of the Empire all of that infrastructure would have been ceded to them immediately. The fact that they use flat-bottomed shallow boats similar to (scaled up versions of) Chinese Sampan meant their networks were unsuitable for trade outside the province anyway. I'll leave the degree of their involvement in Imperial trade networks up to you at any rate -  the point isn't really that the kingdom is rich, only that its aristocrats and priests are. I'll hopefully be able to show the destitution of its 'impious' common people.

That's fine, I was seeking clarification to make sure something didn't get lost in translation, as it were.

I do thing [@Yam I Am] as some good points and I want to see how this turns out before I add anything to the map and do the imperial census(es) that are owed.
