They are simply doing what was done to them before: diligent self-colonization. This commerce and trade ideals tap into the vast potential of these countries' rampant and streamlined corruption systems.
As Gyula Ha/y's report demonstrated, the imitation of an imperial enterprise was expected to result in the restoration of imperial ambitions, even though only on a limited, symbolic level.
