The first factor card that was drawn for our group was a restriction. There was a shortage of clay, so we had a limited amount of pottery-no more than 5 vessels. This was a loss to us, as the Philippines had had amazing luck with our pottery from the last sale. Our "Pots at the End of The Rainbow" (rainbow coloured pots) were on high demand, so the limit of only 5 vessels was disappointing. Also, the news that the warehouse had caught on fire and that all of our pre-produced goods had been destroyed was a devastating loss, but we got over it, and re created everything that we had lost.

Our factor card said that our land was claimed from us so we couldn't grow certain crops or food like coffee beans and cotton. So we had lots of pressure to produce other things of good quality and to produce loads more items. Our system for production was not changed. Big Buy was quite interested in our coffee beans last time, so I don't know what will happen when we trade.

We also got a restriction card banning coffee, pinapples/ and oranges. The restriction cards on the other groups limited cotton so that was a big gain for us. We were all frustrated and a bunch of the other nations were in chaos. It came to my conclusion that there was a really big possibility on a strike and iwas really worried that if one nation striked it could have a domino effect on Big Buy and eventually have one or two countries taking all the burden on their backs and some they cannot do(not right soil,climate,not enough people). Hopefully it goes away with all the woes that have also affected spirits and in some cases production.

Dear Big Buy,
To ensure our workers' safety do you take care of their life insurance and healthcare?

In of the the groups, the most important type of food got banned.
