Customs Union System

**evo** · July 15

Hello! I came here to share an idea for AOH3:

Customs Union

Basically, every country has its own customs union (with its limitations or not) and adding this to the game would also add a economic focus to the game!

Basically, there will be 2 more research's and 2 new laws:

Research's:

Local Market and Globalization

Laws:

Local Market and Global Market

Customs unions are supposed to work, basically, as alliances do, but instead of being military, they give economic bonuses.

Also, there would be a new type of Bonus, called Dividends. Basically, Dividends % are based on how much a country gets monthly.

Example: If Nigeria's income is £100 per month, and Great Brittain gets 5% of it as dividends, Brittain would get £5 every month (Nigeria won't lose anything either)

Note: Of course values should be balanced to the game's standard, but since I don't know how the values will work and what is the balanced amount, I'm using those.

Bonuses values would also be flexible depending on the amount of countries that are on it, gradually increasing with every new member that joins.

The Laws:

Super powers would also compete to have the most powerful customs union:

There would also be different ways of getting new members to your customs union, such as:

Invasion (would give High Aggressive Expansion)

Ultimatum (Would give Medium Aggressive Expansion)

Diplomatic (Being friends to the country)

This wouldn't work to superpowers tho. Superpowers NEVER will accept any other offer of customs unions, unless they're attacked.

There would also be a delay of ~2 years to peacefully invite new countries into its customs union.

Countries that have population/regional/governmental and religious similarities would be easier to call, while countries that are not like that would prefer sovereignty (This would make harder so like, for example, great Brittain don't just would be able to invite anyone of the world to their customs union just because they have good relations, other factors must limit this so that it does not become unbalanced and the country does not simply dominate the world economically easily)

Anyways, that's my ideia. I'm accepting suggestions! Hope Lukas sees this.
