Ah yes an inter-house war started because of an angy luxury and leisury corpo not getting what they want, that surely is big brain time.
Wtf is this dumpster fire of a thread again... Helm, please get a basic understanding of imperialism and protectionism, aswell as Kusaris general nationalistic pride. I explained that 10 times and it seems that opinions really correlate with what Erremart said. Sorry can only agree with them.
To sum it up:
Kusari's entire imperial history dates strongly back to its relations with Samura, as they're the founding fathers of the empire and fall of the shogunate. They had for centuries a nigh unquestionable and unbeatable imperalistic hegemonic power on the market, controlling most shipbuilding, heavy engineering and agricultural, aswell as most industrial processes basically controlling the entire economy of Kusari. This came with a very xenophobic stance to outside trade, especially at first with Synth Foods, who suddenly brought new food varieties on the market, hence the Farmers Alliance movement formed and gets aided by Samura as a henchman group to continousely control food market prizes by letting the angry mob, handle dirty work with foreigners.
Another big important tool of them is the Hogosha, theyre made to handle all non agricultural related dirty work for Samura, theyre pretty much made to be the organ controlling the underworld, and making it fit for the imperials. Samura pulls all the strings to remain its nationalistic hegemony. Yes that would especially include in a Yakuza like manner to control most luxury, leisury services all of Kusari, hence why they rather hand that out to kusari especially Samura friendly corps.
You interact with nationalistic, trade protectionist imperialists and wonder why they dont engage in free trade you with their assets, Im sorry it is plain stupidity of yours on that part.
