I believe that makes three or four, no?I knew there were already merchant nations, but I like Babel and how it turned out. Besides, in real life there were a handful of competing merchant republics during the middle ages. Venice, Amalfi, and Gottland, to name a few.If the GM feels my nation doesn't add anything to the world, I'd be more than happy to create a new one. I've got several other ideas all ready to go.

No worries, there just seems to be a bit of mock animosity among the goldslingers and I wanted to be the first to "welcome" you :p
