The Use of Foreign markets as a whole is a complicated situation. First, we must define our own goals for our home economy:

1)Cheap RM for domestic FP production. Cheaper raws=Higher profit margin=Higher average pay for domestic workers
2)Adequate Gold supply in domestic market; If more people have more gold, then they spend more, upgrade more, and gain more strength to fight in our battles
3)Strengthening our military might; Using cheap foreign goods to allow our own troops to be readily equipped, and consistently win battles until such time that our domestic market can be adequately developed to provide our own weapons.

With these goals in mind, we must develop a firm understanding of certain actions that can be taken to not only prop up our domestic economy, but indeed, take advantage of the foreign economy most effectively:

It is imperative that in all things, we do not find ourselves shipping net gold overseas instead of using to improve our own factories. We can bring our factories with us, and so spending too much abroad without adequate forethought can ship our own economy wealth abroad. The use of foreign materials must always be minimal. In the case of weapons, this fear is lessened greatly as they allow our low leveled player to rank up quickly, giving them gold and increasing our own gold supply and production capabilities.

We must always act with the intent to bring our business home eventually, or with the intent of slowly driving the foreign population in poverty. Indeed, lowering the prices of FP abroad, slowly lowering profit margins of small RM producers, and slowly introducing lower wages in foreign countries should be a conscious priority, as citizens that cannot find economic activity at home will move abroad in the search for economic opportunity. Therefore, a constant effort to recuit new citizens to our own country and community must be made at the same time we are slowly driving a foreign market to the brink of death.

It stands to follow that as we continue to economically dominate these foreign societies that we must eventually reach a point where production reaches a shortfall, due to loss of territory as we hamper their economic might, which in turn loses their bonuses and our incentive to engage in their market. There are two solutions to this problem:

MPP allow our superior military and economic might to protect a foreign markets bonuses, much as the modern day empire protects its colonial holdings. This protects our ability to take advantage of a foreign market, and its bonuses while still avoiding our damage reduction. The other option, and indeed and inevitable one, is that we must take leave of a market devoid of population and wealth, onto the next situation.

However, there will come that day when Alexander weaps; when their are no other worlds to conquer. When we are at the top of the global food chain and the rest of the countries will be destitute. This time will be defined by two conflicts; The very rich of the old system and the destitute nations abroad that are strugging to stand on two feet once more. This time will be defined by the necessity of our population to develop democratic control of the employed over the products they produce, redistributing our wealth and making sure all of our citizens are having a great experience and working to improve our structures, work, and level against the destitute masses of our foreign countries until our inescapeable collapse and realignment.
