What happens
Establishing colonial subjects overseas has allowed us to expand our trade while remaining in control, importing goods from lands that are essentially under our control. As long as we supply our colony with what they need, they have no reason to start putting gold in the hands of our enemies.\n\nSadly, the settlers sometimes have a different opinion from our our ruler on what exactly they 'need'. They have begun to trade with neighboring colonies and natives, circumventing trade barriers we put up to protect our nation's interests. This clearly benefits them... but whether it benefits us is highly doubtful.
