Discussion:
Alexandria here, as a nation that already has trade enclaves, if those were aquired how would those be distributed amoungst the Company. g greg e  (talk)  22:42, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

They would count as a large stake in the company or if you would rather they could remain under your rule independent of company control. Stephanus rex (talk) 00:41, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

I also have ports in the Atlantic, out of which one could be transferred from NOC (Hungarian control) to the EMTC if Hungary is granted admission. Imp (Say Hi?!) 01:14, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

The main focus in our exploration and colonization attempts will be east Africa so the company may not need control.Stephanus rex (talk) 01:32, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Ownership

 * Certificates of ownership shall be printed dictating the percentage of ownership in both the company and any and all colonial ventures.
 * Ownership of the company shall be equally divided among members.
 * Each colonial venture will be paid for by contributions from members, and ownership in each colonial venture will be proportionate to the amount of capital put forth by each member nation.
 * For each colonial venture that turns a profit, the profit shall be divided in half, with one half paying the owners of the colony proportionate to their ownership, and the other half being paid equally amount members of the company.
 * E.g. if there are eight members, each will have 12.5% of shares in the company itself. If the company colonized a region, and the colony was equally paid for by Milan and Rumania 50-50, then both Milan and Rumania would receive 31.25% of the profits each, while the other six members would receive 6.25% of the profits each.

Hobyo
The city of Hobyo is an ancient port city in the north-central Mudug region of Somalia. It can be used to get our foot in the door and serve as a proof of concept for future colonial endeavors. This city will serve as an important staging ground further ventures, allowing us to reach Mogadishu at a later date. It is close to the canals, allowing us to be able to supply the city relatively easily. Once we have cleared of any hostile peoples we will construct a fort upon the port and begin trading with the natives. We will likely need around a few hundred to a thousand men, fifteen to eighteen ships, and enough capital to purchase supplies for about a month's journey.

Capital


 * Milan: Puts forth 200 men, ten caravels, three cogs, and 100 settlers. Total value of 412.5 ducats.
 * Roman Empire: Puts forth five galleys and 1.9575 ducats per person.
 * Rumania: Puts forth 18 caravels, 500 men-at-arms, and as many settlers are needed to complete the mission.
