Captain Shaky: Only 3 nations on Earth have semiconductor foundries. Taiwan and South Korea.

You have to have trade with at least one of them, or you don't get to produce modern technology. And Taiwan produces the most semiconductors between the 2 of them.

Canada's can still produce maple syrup, psychotic geese, and crappy whiskey without this partnership though.


Taiwan, South, and Korea?

sno man: There is a fair bit of Harper's FIPA trade deal with China that is publicly secret, I'd bet a dollar there is a "no trade deal with Taiwan" clause in there.


Harper's FUPA is a totally different secret issue...
