I'm going to pretend you didn't say it has anything to do with player shipments.
Quote:The wealth of the Farmers Alliance is largely dependent on the wealth of Samura. Despite Liberty not being too strict in enacting any embargo of Kusari trade during the Bretonia-Kusari War, the Bretonian blockade coupled with political sensitivities and the activity of Bretonian privateers meant that Synth Foods could no longer deliver as much of its products to New Tokyo as it did before. While Liberty officials and insurance companies absorbed some of the losses from trade reduction, Samura lost the most, and few Synth Foods convoys could pass through Kusari without being attacked by the Farmers Alliance.
Meanwhile, food production on Kyushu is on the rise: the war required additional supplies and demand for traditional food increased when Synth Foods started to raise its prices.
Who wrote that, Igiss? What the heck would a war between Kusari and Bretonia have to do with a product which is shipped from Liberty and Rheinland? Especially in light of the lifting of shipping restrictions through the Sigmas between Rheinland and Kusari, further opening that market between the two.
