However, the Northern cities currently at war with the Northern Realm have already imposed multiple blockades at sea, along with urging the Federation and Empire to impose embargoes against the Northern Realm...
Moreover, most importantly, the Northern Realm is currently so poor it rings like a bell.
Living in an icebound land, you can forget about services; surviving is good enough, let alone saving any money.
Even if they urgently require something and offer a high price, everyone knows they can't actually pay for it.
Now, being pushed to the edge, they can only settle accounts with mineral resources, even using the ownership of several rich mineral veins as collateral...
It sounds wonderful, but don't forget what a godforsaken place those mineral-rich areas in the Northern Realm are!
