Everybody should switch nation and defect to Russia

Take warships with your traders. There will be a fight for sure, but that's what war is about. When traders insist on sailing without guns and on their own ... can't really blame anyone else but themselves.

Is the enemy camping your port ? Holy hell, you guys don't even have to sail to find the enemy. It is right there ! Get'em !

I've seen russians, dutch, swedes, pirates and prussians sailing traders in convoy with warships. And not only once but fairly regularly when i pass their areas. Guess the clans that do that are either - wanting to properly protect their companions and also, if a battle starts, everyone will have fun.

I am working on a suggestion that will help resolve the problems leading to this post.

I would also say that the nations you mentioned are also the nations, from my perspective, that are "raided" the most. So in being raided a number of times, those nations have adjusted their tactics to accommodate better defense.
