The new eRepublik :Rubbing and seeding

RUBBING:Collective sharing of resources
2 Years back Innogames in the west launched a Innogames collection of clothing and weapons. Well to unlock an item you basically had to wear all items in the game. there being rare items that only 4 to 5 people possessed this posed a big problem. But since I had the biggest collection I had no problem in rubbing these collection items onto other people.
The concept of resources might be similar . Meaning we only need to touch the region to place our resources. So in fact all countries can come together with other countries and share resources. For example Ireland can take the Neodymium region of Canada and all factory owners can place their factories there and then Ireland can release the region.
We can team up with the USA and take their full bonus House region and all our factory owners can place their house factories there.
In a system of cooperation and "rubbing" even small countries can now have full bonuses.
The big factor going against this "POLLUTION" But certainly this might be a big element to consider.
Seeding
This might be difficult for players to conceive but when we rub a country we will have to fully seed that region.
If its like weapons we will have Raw materials and full products. We will probably have differing levels of quality airplanes.
Ok so when we rub unfortunately you cannot upgrade raw materials so this will require probably a 100 to 500 gold investment at the offset. Will we dissolve companies to make these factories. We might? Certainly if your in a big country you will have a long time to seed but in small countries it will probably amount to some kind of eOneNightStand. However at that time it would be a good idea to place enough q1 product factories that you can thereafter over time upgrade.
Timeframe for placement
What will be the timeframe for placing factories. Hopefully Plato will be fair and give us all a long time to place factories.
Comments
In v1 nationality was not a factor in resource access.We owned companies all around the world and nationality of the region only affected their taxation.
I'm trying really hard to remember if that ability to place companies wherever we wanted was exclusively tied to the Personal Orgs all players managed their companies through in that era.
Anyway, you might possibly be able to place them wherever you want just by going there. idk lol
guess we will see tomorrow or tuesday
