You're misunderstanding what the Treaty of Curacao's free trade clause is about. It's about not stopping trade through Magellan/Cortez, not granting everyone access to everything. LibLaw takes precedence inside Liberty, and if LibGov says that Crayter ships are considered military vessels (which they have here and here), then LibLaw in Liberty says no to CR transports until that stance is changed. With the IFF issue, which was apparently the primary reason this started, resolved, then an adjustment to that stance is both reasonable and feasible. =CR= continuing to push into Liberty with ships that they've expressly been told that they're not to do at current however is also not acceptable.

There's no possible way to interpret the treaty this way. "Free Trade is to be fully open between Liberty, Bretonia, and the Crayter Republic" means it is to be open between those entities, if it was supposed to mean Magellan and Cortez only, that line would state so.

Then again this is Libgov we're talking about, an entity which has rightfully earned a terrible reputation. The fact that you're attempting to deliberately misinterpret this agreement to justify screwing people in a situation that can really only be described as griefing isn't likely to improve people's opinions of the house.

Tell about the free trade thing to RheinGov and their ban on Universal Shipping transporting White Boxes.
