I've been toying around with setting up a trade circle.
Basicly 5 people that trade exclusivly with each other to gain bonus resources for all of their nations.
My proposed setup is:
lumber, lead, coal, iron, marble, aluminium, oil, gold, water, wheat, rubber
and that leaves one open slot
My Nation: Jotunheimr
Resources: rubber, coal
So far I've gotten the following:
Nation: Gaia Nation
Resources: Marble, Gold
Nation: The HiElands
Resources: Iron, Wine
Note:This country lacks two needed resources, but has expressed interest, this means that our bonus resource will be wine.
Nation: Downunder
Resources: lumber, lead
Nation: Gufton
Resources: oil, wheat
Kiruzog didnt want to be part of this, so have to delay
missing resources is: water, aluminium
Leader names in order listed is: Henning, Vaden, Randalla, Faena, Sepadre
The bonus resources granted by this setup will be:
steel
asphalt
automobiles
beer
construction (requires 5 or more tech)
microchips (requires 10 or more tech)
radiation-cleanup (requires 15 or more tech)
scolarship (requires high literacy rate which basicly means lots of tech, schools and universities, but nice for later on)
The reason for wanting this as an exclusive trade between 5, or a trade circle if you prefer is stability. It seems to me like a pretty sweet deal for everyone included so should take some thought or special needs to want to break out.
I'm very new to all of this so feel free to comment if you think the idea is flawed, but seems pretty good to me.

*Note:This country lacks two needed resources, but has expressed interest, this means that our bonus resource will be whine if we go with this. Whine increase happiness and will have a positive affect on income if population aren't too happy already if I understand this right.*
We all need a little whine in our lives I agree. Some seem to have a little more whine in them than others, and some definately need a little more than they are getting. I particularly agree with the sentiment that whine increases personal happiness. I know a lot of people who arent happy unless they are whining.
I'm sorry bud, I just couldnt help but have a bit of a joke with that. I think you mean *wine*
