Does hurting your enemy's economy in a global market not hurt yourself?

Cutting of your nose to spite your face!

Lets establish some facts.

Fact ONE
In the USA there is in 2 resources a double layer of full bonuses.

Food and WRM.

Fact TWO

We have a global economy and a player can establish a holding company in any country.

Fact Three

Past a certain threshold of factories which is required to establish a decent holding company in say food production a full bonus region is the best region as it can in the scenario where the country have full bonuses in say food never drop below 193% whilst it will in areas with less than full bonuses drop below 193%

Fact Four

The cost of production is a constant it does not fluctuate when you earn lower bonuses. Therefore one places a certain holding company requiring alot of factories to achieve a certain production in full bonus regions.

Your income is lower if you place it in lesser regions.

Fact FIVE

The USA was a low conflict region and many big countries like Serbia due to Dio Maximus had sh* bonuses. Dio Maximus basically slept through the whole event and only constructively did something when most of the high end resources where already claimed and could no longer be established in Serbia.

Lets take a rl example it is said that the tariffs that the USA imposes on China is paid by the USA consumer.

It is not an ideal comparison as of course if there is USA producers of the same product because the tariffs is added to the price of the product it makes US products more competitive.

So even if you hurt a enemy of ours like say Romania by sabotaging their production you mostly hurt yourself as most irish producers would have a holding company in areas now occupied by the enemy.
