First Compact of Philadelphi (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

This compact governs the usage of the Philadelphi Canal, a canal that connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. The canal creates a shortcut to the Indian Ocean and takes roughly 4 days to traverse.

The Canal is expected to be completed and in full operation before 1470.

Basics of Compact

For all countries to use the canal:
 * Alexandria will provide protection in Aiguptia and Alexandria.
 * Merchants will pay between a 1% and 5% tariff based on the value of the goods being transported, NB: this amount is subject to change
 * All Nations agree to protect the Kingdom of Alexandria from attack. (thus all nations must aid Alexandria if Alexandria is attacked)
 * Use of the canal depends on maintaining good relations with Alexandria and Aiguptia
 * Each individual nation is subject to their own agreement as part of the Compact as well in addition to the basic portion of the compact.
