Trade Agreements
The merchants caste has great latitude in making trade agreements with foreign cities. There are only two restrictions. They are as follows:
Trade in cities that are at war or other such trade that could tend to lead Piedmont to be dragged into a conflict that is not in its best interests could lead to severe repercussions to the merchant responsible.
The city understands its merchants codes require them to turn a profit and encourages this. But, merchants should remember that decisions that could lead Piedmont to war should be left to the Administrator or the Warriors.
