And getting increasingly off-topic for the group, too (although I
admit, I'm partially to blame for that and I apologize for my earlier
rant. I surrender all my Internet Points for the day). 

Unless you can point to games that use tarriffs. I think they were
something levied against you in "Sid Meier's Colonization." Are they
an available tool in "Victoriana" or "Hearts of Iron" or any other of
Paradox's StRPatgey games?

TL;DR: let's keep csipg.action a haven from the horribleness being
inflicted upon us in the Outside World, maybe, please?

       I'm a silly person.]
