The Act of Navigation
The sea is the lifeblood of our Flavor Rank, yet foreign merchants from Target Country grow fat off our commerce while our own merchants are outcompeted in shared markets. In markets such as London, the greedy Target Country Adjective merchants have sunk their claws greedily, profiting from trade that would otherwise belong to us.Now, under the strong direction of Target Character1, our Burghers demand action.
A bold new policy, the Act of Navigation, has been drafted. It would shift our markets towards a mercantilist stance and immediately enforce an embargo against the merchants of Target Character2. However, the balance of power and diplomacy is a delicate one and we must handle this matter with utmost care.

3042historical_info = flavor_eng.26.historical_info Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth, enacted the Navigation Act in 1651, targeting the Dutch carrier trade by requiring all goods to and from England to be transported on English ships, reinforcing England's colonial exclusivity. This led directly to the Anglo-Dutch Wars of 1652-1654 and 1665-1667. At the Peace of Breda in 1667, England gained New Amsterdam, later renamed New York, in exchange for Dutch Guiana, and the Act was slightly modified. Despite this, it remained instrumental in England's naval dominance and the rapid expansion of its colonial trade.
