#I mean I have an entire silk and silkworm trade based economy already

Honestly, the idea of a very large country in my AU that sells most of the world's oil is very tempting.

I have mentioned oil and gas a few times, which means it has to come from somewhere. And since it’s a finite resource, there has to be international issues. Like, if a country has oil, then why hasn’t the United States Alliance taken it over, if there aren’t constant conflicts over it? Is the Wolf Unit going after Flower Hill just a small part of a larger force that is responding to a collection of a favor?

I mean, Africa on the map shown is right there with one flag. The United States Alliance would be more focused on the country below them for oil, though, if there is a Venezuela equivalent in that yellow portion.

I could also give the Jindo Empire oil, but then, having the naval supremacy nation with a world wide assassination/spy web also be an oil tycoon makes it sound overpowered, perhaps, even if it would help explain the naval abilities outside of dangerous water currents. My OCs (Jinro and Hite) from there might be a little bit too laid back for coming from that type of country. Then again, they are just cooks and soju makers, not running the government.

On one hand, both are a little too easy, like it’s being lazy. On the other hand, I don't necessarily want to have international relations and conflicts take up too much of an AU focusing on Flower Hill and Geusmaegi.

That kind of thing could be kept for Nunsongi and Strategist to consider.
