Est. 1651 THE GLOBAL ASSEMBLY [!] Ser John, Maer of Markev, speaks at the podium briefly after the conference. Seated behind him is Eadmund Estermont, the head of the Estermont Trade Company. The Global Assembly's administrative division, in conjunction with our new treasury department, are pleased to announce the first of our economic policies, the Estermont International Imports Agreement. After many discussions with Eadmund Estermont himself, the GA has found it appropriate to make the Estermont Trade Company the official exporter of goods to the international community, and they are now recognized as such. Our new deal, designed to raise revenue for the Global Assembly's treasury, implements a ten percent tariff on all Estermont sales, made to governing bodies of the Global Assembly. Ten percent of all sales, made to member states, partial-states, and vassalized GA states alike, shall be deposited into the treasury. In addition, should any non-member states wish to purchase items from the Estermont Trading Company, they shall now pay an additional 100 minae fine, which shall go towards the Company, not the treasury. To summarize the recent provisions, 10% tariff on all imports from the Estermont Trading Company to member states, partial-member states, and vassalized states. 100 minae fine for imports by non-member states. Funds raised by tariffs shall be deposited into the treasury, which shall be used for international operations, approved by the General Chamber, as well as staffing salaries. Individuals shall be unaffected by this trade deal. For reference, here is an updated map of current GA relations; The Estermont Trade Company sells all sorts of various goods, of which prices vary, depending on the market. Common goods which the Estermonts produce include, but are not limited to; Ferrum Armour Ferrum Weaponry Various Tools Construction Supplies Imported Foods We are optimistic about the future of this trade deal.

Arhbi 181 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thomas Woodlaw has the speech summarized to him by another who had attended the meeting. He appeared bemused at the Global Assemblys attempt to thieve from the people of Atlast. “What a pack of penny pinching cretins. With acts like this, no wonder the Chairman had an attempt on his life.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliusAakerlund 1780 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Eadmund Estermont wonder if Thomas Woodlaw knows what the word thievery means, as people would pay for goods and the Estermonts would pay a tariff on the sales the GA is able to bring them. It would seem it is what you call... a trade agreement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
