Oi, why is /infinity/ trying to cut off the defining trait of /nasfaqg/ and /#/, which is trade? What is this?
I claimed our location basically before anyone else, pretty sure that only /meat/ claimed their land before us. At that point in time, I thought we'd be in the centre of the Hololive continent due to zoning, but then the continents flipped. While the current position isn't as good as before, trade and money is still basically the defining trait of /nasfaqg/, so I object to it being hamfistedly taken away by /∞/ just because, with the canal.
Besides, the canal would likely not be worth it there. Extremely long, which means high costs and upkeep, but also very slow transit. When travelling through canals you need to periodically pass through water locks, which makes the travel much slower. For example, in the Panama Canal, traversing it takes about 10 hours despite how short it is, five times slower than on the open sea. If the elevation of Risu's nation is uneven, it'd take even longer, and the strait you're trying to avoid is not only rich in different trading spots for generals, but also much, much shorter of a trip than going around South America.
