What happens
The riches of the East Indies seem to be without end and the Dutch and English are growing richer and richer by simply bringing Chinese and Indian goods all the way to the European markets. Today a number of Dutch and English captains as well as Flemish merchants approached and asked for a royal charter of their own. They claim to have the necessary expertise and starting capital themselves already and only ask for a Royal Charter so that they may compete with the other India Companies without being considered renegades or pirates. In return the company shall be based in the Austrian Netherlands and will allow us to take part in the Indian and Chinese riches.
