The Auction House & Imports

The Crown is pleased to announce that the trade routes have reopened. You should have received by now a list of import items your nation is comfortable sending [OOC: Request a New Import under the Guild Trading section of @guild], which is based on the reports that quantify your overall reach and influence as a diplomatic consulate in Rinascita.

Those with little influence or reach will have fewer options due in large part to the lack of security in it having a large enough return on the investment and lack of confidence in achieving a yield that is appropriate to the level of risk.

[OOC:] Consulates we be ranked every month based on the number of members and sponsored guilds they have. I will not go into the exact formula, but points are generated daily, and ranks are determined on the last day of the month. Points are reset on the first day of the month. More perks will be forthcoming, but here is the current perk list:

Rank 1

The consulate is considered to be prestigious and able to import 6 items per week. They also have access to all items on their import list.
