Oof

all the most important lanes are these narrow passes

seems like if trade increases can get bottlenecks

Strait of malacca has a piracy problem

This isn't going to matter in 500 million years once Pangea reforms 🤔

Well not anymore thanks to America

solutions

Solution: use the navy to clear the way of pirates

that moment when ur ships have to pass a shithole state so you have to guard it yourself

with no navy, no trade

The UK also is there for Singapore

The Euros probably tried to just annex all the dumps

so they could clear all the trash inside off the coasts

Trade is an extention of your military

but Ameris decided, why not just clear the coasts and leave the subhumans further inland alone

they wont cause any trouble

These islanders live off fishing

and primarily on the coast

well they can fish

So they’ll need fishing docks

Wharfs

People to maintain said docks

whose gonna pay for that

Shipbuilders

ameris or the dump

Well you’re saying clear these people off the coast

Which would mean you’d have to starve them unless they had this infrastructure

meh

not necessarily the land

just the water near it

unless theres pirates hiding in the fishing places or something

This would solve the problem how exactly

That’s exactly where pirates come from lmao

When fishing isn’t profitable

so delete

Solution is deterrence

deleting those areas shouldnt cause trouble for the population than

its unprofitable already

There are some profitable and unprofitable fisheries

are they together or seperate areas
