[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 75056, member: 1131"] Greetings! This is really some excellent stuff! There is some very interesting ideas being discussed! I love it! Kenjib! How are you? I'm good. Now, to answer your question I would have to say that the "colonies" as I mentioned, aren't properly understood as "COLONIES"--as in what Spain established over South America, or even what England established in North America. My mistake! I should properly describe them as more along the lines of small colonies established throughout the Black Sea region and the Mediterranean by the ancient Greeks, or perhaps like the trade colonies initially established by Britain in India during the early 1700-1800's. The British establishment of colonies in India was initially very different from what was established in North America. Thus, those two models are probably more accurate to describe the colonies that I had in mind. That being said, they are more involved in legitimate trading relationships, as well as lucrative exportation of native products back to the empire. Thus, while highly profitable, the existance of, and relationship of those colonies doesn't produce the level of wealth that would destabilize an entire region's economy. However, it does remain a potential development though!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
