Have you already established them? As things stand, the trade will be probably the first and most important source of income for the new colony, and thus it is a very delicate matter. A decision about the trade privileges could unbalance it dangerously, undermining the economical situation of the colony. It would be better if there was the possibility for it to completely repay the debts and then choose its own trade policy.I shall say that your decision to allow such a huge credit line surprises me. I don't know the interest rates that you will be applying, however 1 million per year probably far exceeds our needs...probably.As for the third point, a solution comes to mind: I am certain that there are several lands in these 5 nations that have always been poor, or where there were poor crops in the last years. If the government says that we are reliable, we can easily convince them to embark for a new start. The real problem comes after the establishment of the colony: you can bring in basic workers this way, but we need merchant routes. And if the colony is unknown, no merchant will come to us. Of course, you could send some trusted merchants, but they would have a too strong position in regards to the colony, enforcing high prices on their goods or low prices on hours. I thing that much depends on the natural resources of the landscape near the colony. But, here comes the fourth point: have you already found the new/old continent? Or you want us to be the forerunners?</blockquote>
