Fashion brands would be making their goods on planets like Manhattan, not Cucaraco which is a one giant tropical resort which imports all luxurious items and vices from abroad to serve it to their customers as a complete package. There's no industry to speak of aside from services
Not that the OS&C would actually want to waste more of their precious tropical landmass with some hand-crafting manufacturing plants to make such clothes if they can be outsourced from literally any other non-resort planet.
Also, given that Cortez is an independent system, lawfuls wouldn't be able to enforce any laws in there and granting them such rights for the event duration would go against the spirit of the IWs.
Well that is Technicaly Corect. But i am not talking about a factory. I talk about Handmade stuff. This means maybe a 100 Goldsmiths and Artists. We could take a Small resort Platform in the Ocean for that.
Also since when Does a excuse for a nice Event have to be 100% Logical in the firat place. Plus the route from Crete to Curacao g8ves plenty of Options for Lawfulls to Intercept the Shipments. The Same as it was for the cardi Run.
