Uh, there are hundreds of nations around the world that can trade with other nations instead of Everett. You have the EAF which can step in, or the ISA. Either way it goes, there are thousands of cities, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Vancouver, London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, St. Petersburg, Dubai, Riyadh, Mexico freakin' City. There are plenty of "Forth Romes" to choose from. New York does NOT have to be it. Understand that.
