Greetings and salutations.

I am the owner and operator of the Hudson Trading Post, located in Hudson.

I apologize in advance as I am new to these lands and not overly familiar with the way things work here.

The Hudson Trading Post is located conveniently near a field of scrap metal that the Junker's and ALG like to mine. As an entrepreneur I attempted to negiotiate trade deals between transportation vessels and miners but had an exceedingly difficult time managing schedules.

In an effort to improve commerce, I built the HTC as a place miners can drop off salvage for a reasonable price and a place transporters can pick them up for a reasonable price as well.

I have been informed by the RNC that I am required to contact the Rhineland Government to avoid being destroyed. I have also been informed that I need to contact the Liberty Government to avoid being destroyed.

As a businessman, I would prefer not to be destroyed, if possible.

There seems to be some confusion about who owns Hudson.

I respectfully and humbly request that someone clear up the confusion for me.
