It’s not as if our own infrastructure won’t need rebuilding and my mc could always use more labour for the canal, so just giving it away would seem like a dumb move.
I was actually referring to this, I was just too lazy to look it up straight away.
I fully expect the Hegemony to destroy any such maps and knowledge of the lands across the oceans they hold just to spite my mc if nothing else.
In any case the author already said that presumably even if we can contact them sometime during the rebuilding game they play an extremely minimal role, so maybe a very small trickle of trade might be the very best and full extent of the help and influence from any lands across the oceans that we can get.
Longer term if trade is kept up there’s going to be mutual influence but any such thing would likely be beyond the scope of this series.
Only one official language for my mc. Local translations would be acceptable so long as they’re paid for by provincial means, but legally the Koine version would be the sole authority.
Treaties and contracts with foreign powers would be the sole exception there as Koine would be co-equal with the official language of the other power(s) on such documents.
They might have used it to keep tabs on Breden and/or Radmar, that’s true. What would have held them back is likely the expense and effort involved in tracking more than one or two people that way, of course now that we’ve proven to be a real nuisance and not just a distraction to feed the machine they might get more serious/proactive about it.
