Lifting the Embargo

[Lance_Uppercut]

There are so many profitable trade routes between Liberty and Rheinland... I thought it would be a neat RP idea to have one of those so-called RP mini events in which the trade embargo between the houses would be temporarily lifted.

It's been documented at many in-RP places that the war efforts have been sharply economically draining for both sides. It's not out of the question to say that the Liberty and Rheinland governments would work out a day- or week- (or any)-long armistice in order to stabilize their rule amidst growing unrest and strengthening unlawful factions (such as ones that ignore or possibly benefit from the embargo).

At the end, the houses could return to war, maintain a cease-fire, or look to peace and turn their efforts to quelling the exploding presence of unlawfuls, aliens and terrorists.

(Which, IMO, would be a seriously welcome change in this or any other event... I mean, seriously... how many morphs have you seen out there... today? Suddenly everyone and their brother finds the Kansas system and thinks they're the sh*t... And yet there's no real compelling reason to help enforce house laws and regulations when it pays better to break them...)

Anyway, that's not a topic for today. Sorry for getting off track.


I know this is all a bit wack in terms of historical diplomacy, but then again... Rheinland isn't exactly a conventional system of government. Neither is Liberty, really. Maybe it could work for a few days.

What do you think?
