Ok, so I am bringing this conversation here. It's on the matter of trade. Alice believes that we should conduct trade as two separate entities because of the meta reasons you should know already, and that ports under a shogun should be taxed by him.

I disagree because I think that the Meta reasons aren't that valid considering the concept that for simplicity, it would be better this way and furthermore for non-Meta reasons, yes the Shoguns would get a cut of the tariffs but I think the Imperial Navy would as well; and furthermore, the nation would want to keep a similar trade policy because say alice has a lower tariff on apples than I do; WIth the way things work out, apples could be sold to alice at a higher cost so she makes profit off it when she trades them with me. It makes no sense in my mind for the Shoguns to not cooperate with each other in regard to trade because of this and that such tension would lead to major problems.
