Quote:The info card you presented Anne doesn't say that Rheinland pays for the mainteance of the trade lane/gate network in Rheinland.
Trade-lane belongs to Rheinland.
Trade-lane needs to be repaired.
Who pays for repairs?
Owner of Trade-lane.
Seems pretty simple to me. As I said in my previous post though, the Rheinland government is floating on IC money. So if we want to get technical about it, IC does pay for the trade-lanes. The point is rather about the principal of the matter, as either way, if IC stops funding Rheinland, the trade-lanes stop getting paid for.

Same here. Im sure Rheinland is guilty of this as well, though we try very much to keep it to a lesser degree of ridiculousness.
