' Wrote:On that note: How is a government not controlled by that country's industries? Most of laws in Kusari are done for/by Kishiro and Samura and their influences, just those concerning piracy, capital ships free pass, and some other less important are done by KNF or KSP exclusively.
Which leads me to another point that I always had in my mind, which is Liberty's government (for my understanding, I can be wrong on this, as I never took part of it) not influenced by their companies, or doesn't seem so.
But, for sure, the lack of pressure from liberty's companies on their government about this matter, is another factor encouraging this embargo to not be lifted.
This is the problem, some people simply don't want to share power. Back in DHC's glory days we talked to Samura who took our demands to the Council and we got permission to haul H-Fuel within Kusari borders. That was a great example of RP and corporations all over Sirius should have the same influence on their respective governments. The Kusari Council should have equivalents in all the other houses. I tried to do that in Rheinland and I got a simple answer from the RM: no. I tried to impose an embargo for the uncut diamonds (mined only by Daumann) and I got the same answer: no. This is only one example, but I bet the rest of the corporations (except for Samura and Kishiro) are met with the same attitude by their governments (RM, LN and BAF).
Cargo restrictions make perfect sense in RP and they should be used more often, as their absence makes trading factions useless. BMM mines gold and uses Bowex for shipping? Then only BMM and Bowex ships should be permitted to haul it. The same for the Daumann/Republican pair and uncut diamonds, or for Kruger/ALG and silver, to name just the mining house factions. Other commodities should be limited by law (not ID) to the factions which produce them and their allowed shippers, like Ageira is doing with gate/lane parts.
That way you wont be seeing 35253452 freelancers in BWT's running all over Sirius without any sense of RP while both trading and police factions are struggling to survive
