Denmark Enforces Sound Toll

Despite their control of the Sound already giving them a powerful position in Baltic trade, the Danes appear to have let their greed get the better of them. We have been informed that the Sound Toll, which our nation has been exempt from since the days of the Kalmar Union, is now enforced for Swedish ships as well. This is already looking to be a significant annoyance, and some advisors are even suggesting plans for going to war over this grave insult.
