When the Empire of Napaniello
got over the Eldorado Island that they became a strong country in foreign aid because they don’t want to lose this land and try to be the powerful country in our world by giving resources and technologies to their allies in order to follow them in their foreign policy. So, by giving some resources or money will make them stronger and give them influence on other countries. For example, the Empire gives our country any resources that we need and the maximum is 200 of each resource, which will serve their political goals.
I remember a good example of sanction happened in statecraft when the Empire in the first turn attacked our country and broke the mutual defense treaty, then we had leaders meeting in order to setup some sanctions on the Empire which were about reduce the economic actions and cut diplomatic ties. However, I think that sanctions aren’t work well in our world because it will not be affective and it won’t stop some countries from what they want to do, and it has a low percentage of success.
