I am confused as to how your population could continue to be so unhappy, Betonov.

But as I said, you need quantity and quality. You need to offer them luxury goods, gems and silk, all of which you have available. For example, I produce more than enough luxury goods (produced in factories), but no matter the level I set it to, the national market will only buy two of them, less than 20% of total demand for the item group.

If that does not work, try getting additional types of luxury goods, as well as pass additional reforms, or send MP units in rioting regions. Also, make certain that you offer different types of food and common goods as well. Coffee is important and is always in demand, but difficult to buy. Send a trade ship to Brazil's southern trading region (La Plata, I believe) and build a coffee plantation there. It only costs around 2000 capital to set it up.

So is Cecil Rhodes, but that's not stopping me trying to get this Cape to Cairo railway business done.

PIEDMONT-SARDINIA CALLS FOR THE URGENT STABILISATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COAL MARKET

Today, the minister of Trade of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia has published an open letter in all major European newspapers, calling for an international conference to resolve the massive shortages in coal supplies on the international markets.

In only a couple of weeks the coal market seems to have dried up completely, with massive competition from all around the globe for what few shipments still have not been allocated. With the closure of Austrian trade and the drying up of Scandinavian mines, North German and British production cannot keep up pace to demand. As a consequence, worldwide production that relies on the steady supply of coal has been put in danger, with unforeseen consequences for the already fragile world economy.

The Prime Minister, the Count of Cavour, has promised to use any and all resource his government has at its disposal in order to reach an international agreement. He has expressed hopes that fellow European leaders will see the wisdom in working together in stabilising the coal market, thus ensuring prosperity for all.

P-S embassies are to remain open at all times in order to facilitate communication during this time of crisis.

I have no idea why there might be a coal shortage...

Now excuse me while I lay some more track for my trains...
