The Trade Nodes report shows ever-updating information regarding the status

of Venice’s trade nodes throughout the world, divided into the scope of the sea

in both tables. New nodes may be discovered or added throughout the duration

of the Committee Session.

● Dominance Level/Trade Dominance: Shows Venice’s current dominance in a

specific node, higher dominance can mean higher income, higher chances to

monopolize, or actions relating to the specific node. Lower dominance does not

always translate to a lower income, however, it does mean that our trade is more

vulnerable to foreign interference. The increase of a dominance level could be

done in several ways, such as; Increasing diplomatic relations with the country

in which the node are located, trading specific goods to monopolize the

commerce in a node, through intrigue and utilizing cunning ways to ensure the

dominance of our trade in a node, and other creative ways that delegates could

think of. The dominance level parameter spans from None, Lesser, Minimum,

Maximum.

is able to gain from a specific node. Income status is categorized into four

parameters; None, Poor, Average, Prospering.
